I hate ironing but need to do some trousers. I've 2 irons (somewhere) but no

Now, plenty on various sites but they all look flimsy and get poor reviews
re. durability and ricketiness. Almos all have the single legs and T-feet.

Anybody know of a good solid type please?

I know, it's DIY here but I don't have the material and there's a limit to

German ones (Brabantia) used to be not bad. If I were specifically after a
sturdy one (I agree, most of the modern ones are rubbish) I'd probably look
for an old s/h one.

Modern ones tend to have the top made with a mesh construction, which I *think*
is a good idea - it lets the stem go through the clothes.

My pet beef is that you can never get a cover whose shape properly matches the
shape of your board, and that the drawstrings never properly keep it on. If I
were a bachelor again I'd fix this...
