I didn't want it either til I watched the infomercial thing on the homepage and it brainwashed me.

Prob cos I have an innate inability to fold properly and all my non-hanging clothes are currently crammed into my drawers/shelves in a crumpled heap!

Oh dear, methinks this gadget is not very OS!

    Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
    Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

    You do NOT need this...............!

    Repeat after me.......creases are good, they make me feel happy. Spending money to fold something is silly.

    Get yourself a Saturday job in a clothes shop. By the end of the shift you'll be perfect at shirt folding.Not only will you save money you'll make some extra too.

    Yep, agree with Spendless. I now hand anything over to dd1 that I am struggling with folding, she worked at Primark for the last 3 years and now excels at it :D
