Frequently Asked Questions - Stirojolly Wall Mounted Ironing Board Cherry Wood
What are the dimensions of the Stirojolly Wall Mounted Ironing Board Cherry Wood?
When open and in use, the Stirojolly measures 108cm W x 40cm D x 86cm H. The ironing surface itself is 86cm x 38cm, which is large enough to comfortably iron full-size shirts, jeans, trousers and bed linen. When folded flat against the wall, the board collapses to just 32cm W x 40cm D x 86cm H - occupying only 32cm of wall width and sitting flush within the 40cm wall bracket footprint. The wall bracket and frame remain fixed to the wall at all times; only the board folds out and back.
What is the Stirojolly Wall Mounted Ironing Board Cherry Wood made from?
The entire frame and iron holder of the Stirojolly are crafted from solid European cherry wood. The ironing surface itself is perforated and galvanised metal, which allows heat and steam to pass through the board for more effective ironing. The cover is 100% cotton with a heat-resistant aluminium treatment that reflects heat back through the fabric, speeding up the ironing process. Every Stirojolly is handcrafted and quality-checked at the Arredamenti Italia workshop in Bione, northern Italy, and is a patented product registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
How does the Stirojolly open and close?
The Stirojolly uses an "easy open" slide-and-lock mechanism rather than the latches, clips or pull-cords found on standard wall-mounted boards. To open, lift the board upward and slide it along the integrated track until it clicks into the notch that holds it horizontal and locked in the ironing position. The board is held firmly in place by the track mechanism, with no separate locking step required. To close, lift the board slightly to release it from the notch, then lower it down along the track to rest folded against the wall. The entire open-and-close action takes a few seconds and requires no tools or awkward manoeuvring.
Can the iron stay on the board when it is closed?
Yes - the Stirojolly is designed so that the iron can remain on the board when folded. The iron holder is a solid cherry wood platform (39cm x 27cm) positioned at the top of the wall bracket, separate from the folding board itself. This means the iron sits in a dedicated, fixed position on the wall bracket at all times - whether the board is open or closed. There is no need to move or store the iron separately between ironing sessions.
What wall types can the Stirojolly be mounted on?
The Stirojolly can be installed on most standard wall surfaces found in Australian homes, including brick, concrete, plasterboard and rendered masonry. Fischer wall plugs are included with the product for installation. For plasterboard installations, locating and fixing into the wall studs is strongly recommended, as the board will bear both the weight of the unit and the lateral pressure of active ironing. If you are unsure about your wall construction, a handyperson can assess and install it easily.
Can I install the Stirojolly myself, or do I need a tradesperson?
The Stirojolly arrives fully assembled - no construction is required. Wall installation involves drilling four fixing points to mount the bracket to your wall using the included Fischer plugs. Most DIY-confident homeowners can complete the installation in under 30 minutes with a drill and a spirit level. Because the board is used under active load - and because the mounting height affects your ironing comfort - taking care to install it level and into solid fixing points is important. If you are uncertain about your wall type or fixings, a handyperson is a straightforward option. Of course, if you would like guidance during the install process, feel free to contact our support team for assistance.
At what height should I mount the Stirojolly?
The Stirojolly has a fixed ironing surface height of 86cm when open, which is determined by where the bracket is mounted on the wall. A standard comfortable ironing height for most adults is between 80cm and 95cm from the floor to the board surface, so mounting the bracket at a height that brings the open board to approximately 86cm above floor level is the recommended starting point. Because the bracket is mounted to the wall at a fixed point, you choose your preferred ironing height at installation time. If multiple people of different heights will use the board regularly, consider the primary user's preference when selecting the mounting height.
Is the ironing board cover replaceable?
Yes - the cotton cover is removable and replaceable. The cover supplied with the Stirojolly is 100% cotton with a heat-resistant aluminium backing. When replacing the cover, ensure any replacement is sized correctly for the 86cm x 38cm board surface.
How much wall space does the Stirojolly require?
The wall bracket and iron holder together occupy 40cm of wall width and 86cm of wall height. When the board is folded, the total depth from wall to the front of the folded board is 32cm.
What is the difference between the Stirojolly Cherry Wood and the Stirojolly White?
Both versions are identical in dimensions, ironing surface, mechanism, iron holder design and function. The only difference is the frame finish. The Cherry Wood version features a natural cherry wood frame with a warm, furniture-grade finish that deepens in tone over time - suited to laundries and utility spaces where the board is a visible design feature. The White version features a solid beechwood frame finished in white, giving it a clean, minimal aesthetic suited to modern laundries and white or neutral interiors.
How do I care for and clean the Stirojolly Wall Mounted Ironing Board Cherry Wood?
The cherry wood 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, which can damage the natural finish.
Is the Stirojolly suitable for a small laundry or apartment?
Yes - the Stirojolly is specifically designed for compact laundry spaces, apartments and any home where a freestanding ironing board is impractical to store. When folded, it projects only 32cm from the wall and requires no floor space at all. This makes it one of the most space-efficient wall mounted ironing board solutions available in Australia. It is equally well suited to a dedicated laundry room, a bathroom, a bedroom wall, or a built-in wardrobe with sufficient depth - anywhere a clear 40cm wall section and safe fixing points are available.
