Whitmor Wire Over The Door Ironing Caddy - Iron and Ironing Board Storage Organizer,White

This was really handy. I used to store my ironing board in a closet, but now the iron and board are just behind my workroom door. I put a strong piece of duct tape on the outside of where the iron sits, just in case someone swings the door open fast and jostles it—great value and sturdy enough.

The media could not be loaded. This over-the-door ironing caddy keeps everything neat and off the floor—perfect for small spaces! It was super easy to hang and holds my iron and board securely without any wobble.

I was pleased to find this rack that can be mounted to the wall, as I have exceptionally tall doors so over-the-door storage doesn’t work. The rack itself works well and holds my standard ironing board and fairly-large iron. Installation was about five times harder than it should have been. First, there are no instructions in the packet, they are on the outside of the box, and they are wrong and poorly-written. First, it says “install two wall anchors” with no further mention of what tools are needed (drill, drill bit, hammer). This is relevant because then it says to put the screws into the anchors, and says you’ll need a screwdriver for that. There are four wall anchors and screws included and clearly four places on the rack for them, so go ahead and do all, not just two. Second, I hit a stud, which was my fault (I was trying to avoid studs but failed, Murphy’s Law), and one of the screws broke off right inside the hole! Very cheaply made I think. I was able to use a much sturdier screw that I had on hand to install close enough to the original hole to work. Third, getting the screws in the right place was a little tricky, it would have been nice if a template was included. I guess I could have made one. At the end of the day, I got the thing up and it works.

It's pretty light weight but does the job.

This is probably the 4th one I’ve gotten, for me and some family members. Very practical and space saver.

I got this so I could finally get my ironing board and iron out of the basement and stowed on the 2nd floor, where all the closets and bedrooms are.Right now it is hanging on the back of a closet door--which is just fine.The over-the-door hanger strip is sturdy enough and slender enough that the door still closes.The caddy itself is not great. It's also not horrible. It's flawed. The price is more than reasonable--so perhaps its flaws are not fatal ones.HARDWARE:I have every intention of screwing this gizmo to the solid wood door, as my old board and big Rowenta iron are hefty. So I checked out the screws provided. I have solid 1" + doors and I measured . . and think the screws supplied will pop out the other side of the door, so that's not happening! (Search on for better hardware.)For the record, the screws (4) do come with plastic wall anchors---but IMHO you would want to use MUCH more robust hardware to hang this on a sheetrock wall and expect it not to pull out with the weight of a board and iron. Much. More.Design flaw, but you can get around it.IRON STORAGE SPOT:My iron sits in its space with lots of room--a bit too much room! It rocks back and forth towards and away from the door and also a bit side-to-side. I finally figured out if I were to pull the heel of the iron out beyond the lower "rests" it would wedge in and not move so much.The wings at the sides of the iron's body are also set rather widely apart. About 4" of a gap. Not so much of an issue with an iron like mine that has a wide sole, but if your iron is slender it might not work as well. Again, design flaws.BOARD HOLDER:My worst problem with this item is that I have the sort of ironing board with Y legs.Yes, you can bend the holders out to the sides to accommodate that.No, it doesn't take much in the way of muscles.But once you've bent the holders out, it's difficult to seat the board, as the distance between the "nose" of the ironing board and the bottom of the iron is much reduced. Almost to nothing.You have to lift your board up and over the hooks before settling it back down in--and there is little to no room to do so. It catches. In fact, fiddling with it causes the entire caddy to come out from the door and swing around, making the process worse. (I assume screwing it to the door will fix that.) This all bounces the iron askew in its place, which is going to happen no matter how the caddy is attached.This is slightly over my shoulders, so if you are older and have problems lifting weight with your shoulders, or shorter than maybe 5'6" that may be a challenge.Hangers that were just 2" longer would solve the problem.Again, design flaw. Rather a big one.FINALLY:If you have T legs on your board, and don't mind the wobbling of an iron slightly above your head, then this will work very well for you and be well worth the price. I, however, would not purchase this again. Somewhere out there . . . there's a better caddy for heavy Y boards. Meanwhile, this'll gotta do for now.

Long lasting, easy to put together

Ironing board hooks can be easily adjusted to fit Y legs (see pic.)Very convenient since altho the iron could still be hot, it situates at a slight angle away from the wall (or door), & keeps the surface from heat exposure.Also, bc of the way the iron is made to face there's quick access to the handle which prevents the risk of burning hands.
