I recommend this board to everyone, even my mom bought one. I'm long-term testing Brabantia B from our testing, and in , I compared it with a brand-new board with the same cover.
The original has been subjected to the weight of king-size quilts and blankets, several bumps into walls, a cross-country trip in a moving crate, and countless openings and closings. The cover has seen its fair share of scorched polyesters Halloween costumes , iron-on transfers more Halloween costumes , spray starch, and a couple of melted sewing pins.
I could not tell the difference between the two boards when I compared them side by side. The original is my everyday choice for clothes and linens. Brabantia offers a year warranty for its ironing boards, compared with five years for the Homz Durabilt.

This model is ideal for large projects, and, like the Rowenta IB board, it has a rack underneath to stack quilt blocks or other projects on.
Not only did the Ergo wiggle in tests, it also had a serious wobble and felt very unsteady. The Whitmor Tabletop Ironing Board was a piece of junk. It cost about the same as the Honey-Can-Do board, but its thin, flimsy legs felt like they were breaking as soon as I used it. When any pressure was applied to this board, it felt like the legs would snap clean off.
The board's frame is aluminum, as opposed to steel, so it's lightweight, too. Thanks to its mesh top, this ironing board is perfect for steaming; its legs were designed to provide maximum stability.
