Product Overview
The APEXCHASER Lightweight Folding Ironing Board Review examines a portable, folding ironing board that is suitable for daily use in ironing as well as lighter-duty laundering. Because of its portability, this foldable ironing board is much simpler to setup, transport and store compared to a number of larger standard ironing boards.
This board has an iron rest as well as a multi-layered pad on the top side that provides a smooth surface for ironing. Furthermore, because it can be folded up when you are done using it, it will make sense for home owners with very little available space, or for individuals who prefer not to have a large portion of their floor taken over by a permanent ironing board.
Customers Say
Many customers liked the APEXCHASER ironing board, as they said it was light weight and very easy to open and close. The board’s ease of storage, along with its hanging hook feature were appreciated by many. Buyers felt this ironing board would work well for everyday ironing and small sewing or clothing repair type projects. The customers loved the padding over the cover. They mentioned that the layers made the surface feel much thicker and softer than the cheaper boards they had purchased in the past.
There are two main complaints from the customers. First, many complained that the ironing surface area was too small for an average ironing board. Second, some customers (the taller ones) have found the height of the board when folded out to be uncomfortable to use. Additionally, there were a couple of customers who expressed concern about their locking or support systems failing at times, resulting in some damage or alignment problems with the unit upon arrival.

Bottom Line
For those looking for an affordable, portable ironing board that has a small footprint and can easily be stored in closets or under beds, the Apex Chaser is a good fit. It is light enough to move from one location to another by hand without needing a dolly, as well as folds up quickly when you are finished using it so it can be placed back into storage.
The Apex Chaser’s features include a soft padding on the ironing surface of the board. The Apex Chaser’s disadvantages include its relatively small size which makes it less suitable than larger boards for heavy-duty use, as well as some owners have reported issues with the stability of this product. If you do most of your ironing with lighter weight items, such as dresses, shirts and pants, then the Apex Chaser should be sufficient for your needs.
