Spectrum 89300 Wall-Mount Ironing Board Holder with Basket, White



Quality = Meh
The mesh pattern was dented along the front - from concave to convex. It was like a wave. I mostly fixed it with a little hammer persuasion. The arms to hold the ironing board are separate pieces that slot into the bottom mounting holes. One of the holes is too small to accept the arm easily. It does come with drywall anchors and screws.

Not super happy with it, but the choices are limited for a product like this and I like the amount of stuff it can hold. I guess it will do.

Good Enough
--- Description ---
The basket's metal cage is too flexible; it bends too easy, but can be easily fixed by bending it back into shape. The basket has plenty of space to hold an iron and other items. The rest of the item is OK and serves its purpose.

--- Installation ---
It did not come with any installation booklet. The only installation "tip" it has is printed on the sticker attached to the basket wall. The tip indicates to install it on wood; I believe that most people are installing this on an actual wall.

The 2 top screws can be easily accessed for installation. However, the 2 bottom screws are difficult to get to because the metal cage gets in the way of any power drill or typical screwdriver you may use. You'd either have to use a very long screwdriver, 90-degree power dill, or something similar to install the bottom screws. I'd recommend just installing the 2 top screws; the included screws are wide, come with plastic anchors, and should...

Large and Sturdy but Difficult to Install
This is a large and sturdy iron and ironing board wall holder. The wire mesh is not terribly attractive but it serves its purpose well. My only real complaint was installation. The screw holes for installing this are not laid out in a logical way to tighten the screws. You also need to line up the screw holes carefully so it hangs properly. Instructions are not very good either now that I think about it. It was a real pain to install. Better be a good handyman or handywoman if you buy this. What should have been a 15 minute job turned into an hour.
