I love this ironing board and my wife hates it. It's long and wide, adjusts for tall folks, suitable for left and right handers. It is heavy at 9.6kg and trying to wheel it is fine in a straight line on a flat surface but hopeless over door thresholds or around corners. If you can't set it up in the room it's stored or you don't fancy shifting this sort of bulky object, I'd look elsewhere.

The first one I took home had a damaged leg - about 3 cms shorter than its pair however the shrink wrapping was perfect. The replacement has a downhill slope that is obvious to the naked eye. Also - what is it with the uneven and protruding bolts on the legs and the placement on the wheels?

It is unfortunate that retailers don't have these items open for inspection before you purchase.

Surface not flat, steel very thin and flexes with heat from iron. Top is warped with small sectioned dipped and not level and this makes ironing large surface eg a shirt difficult.
Cannot be raised as high as my previous ironing board which I used for about 20 years. I am only 180cm tall.
When unpacked after collection from store one of the wheels on the legs was smashed, although the packaging was undamaged. Replacement was arranged without problem.

After looking at many ironing boards on the market, I decided on the Sunbeam Chic and was happy with it until it collapsed one day due to two spot welds failing, luckily it comes with a 5 year replacement guarantee which was honoured without question by Myers. The second unit lasted just over 6 months when it also collapsed with same problem and replaced by Myers again without any problems, at this stage I may never have to buy another ironing board again, providing Sunbeam stay in business.
Besides the above problem I love the unit and it suits me completely.
Good size, easy to adjust, great guarantee.
Spot welds on upright supports.

The newest chic range ironing board had everything going for it until both my husband and I used it for the first time. Has an uneven top, the wheels, legs, iron rest all are very good quality, but the top very poor.
My darker clothes showed an imprint of the lumps on top of the board from the metal frame. When you touch it with one finger it springs in and out, how on earth did this end up in the shops shelves.
All I want is a flat surface please Sunbeam. Shop assistant agreed it was in bad shape for ironing. I have replaced it with a Sabco iron board smaller but great ironing surface stronger and straight and also better quality cover.
looks nice
top/board too thin and lumpy & springy

I was so excited about getting the Chic ironing board as it went up to 95cm high and I was sick of bending over the board. The first one I bought had an uneven ironing surface that popped in and out as you ironed. I took it back and got a replacement but it has the same problem...must have been a faulty batch. The retailer was more than happy to refund my money
Loved the size, height and sturdy frame
The mesh top was uneven and popped up and down as you ironed. The underlay was very thin and you could see imprints on some ironed garmets

I bought a Sunbeam Chic in Nov 2011 because of its larger size. Great design but appalling manufacturing - surface was rippled like corrugated iron. I took it back to the retailer; his whole stock was the same - looks like a batch problem. Retailer most apologetic, cheerfully refunded my money. Still looking for one that is flat.
Large, good iron rest, stable.

It's a great product but considering the price I probably would have gone with a cheaper ironing board. I don't really do that much ironing and can't really justify the price. However in saying that it does what its meant to do
Very good product. Nice and sturdy and well made. From a trusted and well known brand. Easy to open and close and slim to pack away. Doesn't wobble when you iron like my previous one.
a little bit expensive considering it is just an iron board. I probably would have gone with a cheaper iron board.

Prior to the purchase of this sunbeam ironing board I have been using a smaller and no where near as good board.
I am more than happy with this new one. It seems to be quiet strong and folds up and down nice and easy.
It was expensive for an ironing board but you do get what you pay for.
There is plenty of padding so there are no added marks in your ironing. The cover is simple to remove for washing.
Light weight to strength ratio.
My one had an overtightened wheel. It was easily fixed by loosening the bolt to allow the wheel to spin but I should not have had to do anything but iron on it.

I bought this board based on the reviews on the site and I can say that I do not regret the purchase one bit! I was taken aback by the price ($109) but I can honestly say that it's 100% better than my previous board. It feels more substantial with the weight and width. It folds up and down with ease and stands at the perfect height for my ironing position. The iron stand at the end of the board is handy and sturdy and the slit in the stand to hold the shirt hangers is really convenient when I am ironing all of my shirts for the week.
Reliable, comfortable to use, sturdy
A little pricey but worth it.

This ironing board is very sturdy, large enough to handle big items without being overly big, easy to put up and down and not too heavy. I looked at several other models around the same price bracket and they seemed flimsy compared with this product, other brands that I put up in the shop were not stable. Glad I read the reviews on this site before buying, am very happy with this item.

Overall a very good ironing board, easy to move around with the wheels and with a large ironing surface. With the five year replacement warranty, you can't go wrong.
Excellent, sturdy, well made. Large size, so that everything from shirts to trousers (I'm 180cm tall) can be ironed with ease. Retractable iron rest. Well desinged legs mean it doesn't wobble when you're ironing. Although a little heavy to carry, but the wheels make the job very easy.
None at all
