General information
This is a universal device - 2 in 1. Putting it in a horizontal position, we get the most common ironing board we know so well. It is very stable and reliable. The ironing process on it can last for a long time, since the steam and heat from the iron, as well as the load, are not afraid of it.
But as soon as you put it in an upright position, the board turns into a stepladder. Previously, the ironing surface now serves as a support, and the legs of the board have become steps. Such a ladder allows you to overcome a height of 70 centimeters.
The frame is made of durable steel, which provides stability and does not damage the floor. The maximum load that such a device can withstand is 150 kilograms.

- The ability to adjust the product: a quality product has the function of changing the height according to your height.
- Strength. The structure must be stable both as a stepladder and as an ironing board. Pay attention to the anti-slip pads on the legs and if they protrude beyond the ironing board.
- Product dimensions. Today, such a folding structure can be large, medium and compact in size. Here the choice is yours.
- What material is it made of. The metal and fabric of which the structure is made are very important. But you should also inspect the joints, check for dents and deformations.
- Cape (cover). Almost all models have a removable cover. It can be made from a wide variety of materials. The most popular are heat resistant and waterproof.

Additional attributes for the ladder board
