Hand made in Italy by skilled Craftsmen, the 220IB is the pinnacle of ironing board excellence. This is a board made without compromise. It was designed to provide maximum stability and features to make ironing less work. Not all ironing boards are made the same. We use traditional tube-frame construction and a galvanized metal mesh screen so your investment will last. Conex allows you to place your iron on the board with no worries. This safe zone is heat resistant up to 400°F and is flame retardant. Simplify your ironing experience with a Conex heat resistant zone!
