OUR METHODOLOGY

How we picked

Two decades of laundry retail — across Perth showrooms and an Australia-wide online store — shaped this list. Here’s the lens we used.

20+ years of laundry retail

We’ve sold laundry storage from our Perth showrooms since the early 2000s. Every pick here has survived years of in-store and online customer feedback.

Built to last beyond a season

We bias towards rust-resistant aluminium, stainless steel and powder-coated frames over cheap alternatives that need replacing every twelve months.

Verified by Aussie buyers

Every product here has live Judge.me reviews from real Soko & Co customers — not generic imports or paid Amazon placements.

Designed for your space

We rank across tight apartments, busy family homes and stylish living rooms — because one airer never fits every laundry.

FAQ

Questions our customers ask

Pulled straight from the inboxes and showroom conversations of our Perth team.

I'm renting. Should I just get a tabletop board?

If you iron less than once a week and have bench space, yes — the JJ Pocket Plus is perfect. If you iron weekly or more, the storage hassle of a tabletop board adds up — consider a standard board with our Provincial Linen cover so it looks intentional when leaned against a wall.

Brabantia or Joseph Joseph — which is better?

Brabantia (Size B/D, #1 and #5) makes the most-engineered traditional ironing boards on the market — sturdy, heavy, lifetime hinges. Joseph Joseph (Glide Plus, Pocket Plus) makes design-led boards with clever features (contoured shirts nose, tabletop folding). Both are warranted for years; pick on form factor, not brand.

Wall-mounted vs pull-out vs on-wheels — which suits my laundry?

Tight Euro-laundry: wall-mounted (#3). Custom joinery in a renovation: pull-out (#4). Large laundry with floor space: on-wheels (#6) for furniture-grade looks, or Brabantia Size D (#1) for a traditional setup.

Do the covers fit any board?

Our cover collection is sized in Medium and Large to fit 95% of standard boards. Brabantia boards have proprietary sizing (B, C, D) — use the cover labelled for that size. Joseph Joseph boards come with their own covers included.

How do I pair ironing with the rest of my laundry workflow?

Stack the workflow: dry on a foldable airer → wheel between rooms in a trolley → iron on this list's board → hang on a wardrobe rack. End-to-end Soko & Co.

Can I see any of these in person?

Yes — all ten picks are on display at our Myaree, Karrinyup and Carousel WA showrooms. The Stirojolly and Stirocomodo are particularly worth seeing in person for the build quality.
