Brabantia 385742 Wall Mounting Ironing Table Holder, Black



tough cookie
this holds my rowenta ironing board and iron and is mounted on the laundry closet's door. this one's quite a toughie as it holds quite a lot of weight and keeps everything in order. the gaps on either side makes room for the long cord. the hardware that comes with it didn't seem like it would hold the weight very well but after mounting it on a wood door, it's not going anywhere. but if you must mount it on a drywall, use either a molly or a toggle bolt to mount it in place as the hardware that comes with it seems like it would only work on wood.

Great Iron storage!
I am using this product just to store the iron. I wrap the cord around the ironing board hanger. I like the fact that I can put the iron away hot and it doesn't hurt the rubber heat proof backing.

Does what it is supposed to.
I have a Rowenta iron and a Seymour board. My previous Iron broke when it was knocked off of the ironing board, the usual place where it was kept. Because of the price of the Rowenta iron, I decided to invest in a safer place to store it. Receiving this unit, I followed the included instructions to insert the board hooks, and mount to a 3/8" sheetrock wall. It is only held by two screws with simple dry-wall anchors. I was not impressed with the included hardware, and used my own anchors and screws, which hold the unit much better. The actual unit however is very well designed, and holds the iron, iron cord, and board very well. Freed up a large amount of space since the board was always left open due to lack of storage options.
