Frequently Asked Questions - Stirocomodo Ironing Board On Wheels Natural
What are the dimensions of the Stirocomodo Ironing Board On Wheels Natural?
When open and in use, the Stirocomodo measures 135cm W x 46cm D with an adjustable height between 84cm and 93cm. The ironing surface itself is 108cm x 46cm - a generous, full-size board suitable for shirts, trousers, linen and large garments. When folded, the board collapses to just 12cm W x 46cm D x 117cm H - narrow enough to slide into the gap beside a washing machine or into a slim laundry cupboard while standing upright independently.
What is the Stirocomodo Ironing Board On Wheels Natural made from?
The frame is crafted from solid European beechwood in a natural finish - uncoloured, showing the warm, pale tone of the beechwood grain. The ironing surface is galvanised metal, which provides an even, firm pressing base. The cover is 100% cotton with a heat-resistant aluminium treatment that reflects heat back through the fabric for more efficient ironing. Every Stirocomodo is handcrafted and quality-checked at the Arredamenti Italia workshop in Bione, northern Italy.
What height settings does the Stirocomodo have?
The Stirocomodo adjusts to four different ironing heights: 84cm, 88cm, 91cm and 93cm. This range covers comfortable ironing positions for most adult heights, from seated use to a standing position at the higher end. Height adjustment is made via the cross-brace mechanism on the frame. Having four settings rather than a continuous range means each position is locked in firmly with no flex or give during use.
How do the wheels work, and will they scratch my floors?
The Stirocomodo is fitted with non-marking rubber wheels at the base of the frame. The wheels are designed to engage only when the board is folded and collapsed - when the board is open and in use, the frame sits stable on the floor, and the wheels are not in contact with the ground in a way that allows rolling. This means the board stays firmly in position while ironing and can be rolled easily when folded for storage or repositioning. The rubber wheels will not scratch or mark timber, tiles or other hard floor surfaces.
What is the iron holder on the Stirocomodo and how does it work?
The Stirocomodo includes a retractable iron holder - a metal cradle that pulls out from the end of the board to provide a dedicated resting place for the iron between garments. When not needed, it retracts flush with the board end. This keeps the iron safely off the ironing surface and away from finished garments without requiring a separate iron rest or a heat-resistant mat on the floor.
What is the shelf under the ironing board used for?
The Stirocomodo features a solid beechwood shelf integrated into the lower section of the frame, positioned mid-height between the ironing surface and the floor. The shelf provides a convenient staging area for freshly ironed garments, unironed items waiting in queue, or folded linen. Having the shelf at this height keeps the workflow compact - garments move from the shelf to the board and back without needing a separate surface nearby. The shelf folds with the board when collapsed.
How does the Stirocomodo fold and store?
The Stirocomodo folds by collapsing the cross-brace frame inward until the board is vertical and the entire unit is just 12cm wide. The board stands upright independently when folded, supported by the base of the frame and the wheels. At 12cm wide, it fits into the gap beside a washing machine, into a slim laundry alcove, or behind a door without requiring a dedicated storage space. The wheels allow it to be rolled into position without lifting.
Is the Stirocomodo suitable for a small laundry or apartment?
Yes - it is specifically designed for compact laundries and apartments. The 12cm folded profile is among the slimmest available in a full-size adjustable ironing board, and the wheeled base eliminates the need to carry or drag it between rooms. The adjustable height also makes it practical in spaces where the board must be used in different configurations - beside a bench, in a corridor, or in a bedroom - without the ironing height being dictated by the room.
What is the difference between the Stirocomodo Natural and the Stirocomodo Cherry Wood?
Both versions are identical in dimensions, height settings, mechanism, shelf, iron holder and function. The only difference is the timber finish. The Natural version features the pale, uncoloured tone of natural beechwood. The Cherry Wood version features a warm cherry wood tone that deepens over time. Both are crafted from solid wood.
How does the Stirocomodo compare to the Stirojolly wall-mounted ironing board?
The Stirojolly is a wall-mounted board with a fixed installation point and a fixed height - it folds flat against the wall when not in use and is always in the same location. The Stirocomodo is a freestanding board on wheels with four adjustable heights - it can be moved between rooms, stored in a cupboard or gap, and set to different heights for different users. The Stirojolly is better suited to a dedicated laundry with a clear wall section. The Stirocomodo is better suited to households that need flexibility, portability or adjustable height, or where wall installation is not practical, such as in a rental.
Is the ironing board cover on the Stirocomodo replaceable?
Yes - the cotton cover is removable and replaceable. When replacing, ensure any replacement is sized correctly for the 108cm x 45cm board surface and is rated for use with irons.
How do I care for and clean the Stirocomodo Ironing Board On Wheels Natural?
The natural beechwood frame can be wiped with a dry or lightly damp cloth to remove dust and surface marks. Avoid soaking the timber or using abrasive or chemical cleaners. Because the finish is natural and uncoloured, the wood will gradually develop a warmer tone over time with normal use - this is the nature of solid beechwood. The galvanised metal ironing surface can be wiped with a cloth periodically. The rubber wheels require no maintenance under normal household use.
