Ironing Board for tall people

Li142why

I am trying to find an ironing board that does not give me a sore back. There is a Brabantia one in Homebase for £94.00 which, although provides a wide surface area, the height only goes up to 102cm. This is higher than the normal 90cm but not by much! Does anyone know where I can find a good ironing board that goes higher?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Amanda:)

Nope, if you read the technical details it says Adjustable to your ideal working height 63 - 102 cm

Dave, with similar back problems as the OP

I don't know how tall you are. I'm 5'11" which is big for a girl, it does go higher than I need it to.

Standing on the chair will make the problem worse, I thought the better option would be to place the ironing board on breeze blocks ;o))

I moved the stops on my cheapo one so that it went higher which cured the sore back. The only problem was that it made the board rather unstable.

Firstly, thanks everyone for the comments and advice. I ended up purchasing the Brabantia one as when I opened it, 102cm turns out to be perfect for my height - with my bare feet on that is:) I can only imagine how hard it must be for people over six feet (I'm under that). It is a bit of a monster actually, really wide with a linen rack at the end - my iron now looks tiny!

Put a bath towel on the kitchen table and iron on that...:p:D;)
