Stirolight Ironing Board on Wheels Cherry Wood

Frequently Asked Questions - Stirolight Ironing Board on Wheels Cherry Wood

What are the dimensions of the Stirolight Ironing Board on Wheels Cherry Wood?

When open and in use, the Stirolight measures 135cm W x 45cm D with an adjustable height between 84cm and 93cm. The ironing surface itself is 108cm x 45cm - a full-size board suitable for shirts, trousers, linen and larger 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 Stirolight Ironing Board made from?

The frame is crafted from solid cherry wood. 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 Stirolight is handcrafted and quality-checked at the Arredamenti Italia workshop in Bione, northern Italy.

What height settings does the Stirolight have?

The Stirolight 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 Stirolight is fitted with non-marking rubber wheels at the base of the frame. The wheels 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 Stirolight and how does it work?

The Stirolight 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.

Is the ironing board cover on the Stirolight 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.

Is the Stirolight 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. It fits comfortably in the gap beside a washing machine.

What is the difference between the Stirolight and the Stirocomodo?

Both are Arredamenti Italia freestanding ironing boards on wheels with four adjustable heights, a retractable iron holder, a galvanised metal ironing surface and a 108cm ironing surface. The key difference is the Stirocomodo includes a solid cherry wood mid-height shelf for staging garments, while the Stirolight does not. The Stirolight is the lighter option for households that prioritise portability and minimal footprint. The Stirocomodo is better suited to households that do larger ironing sessions and benefit from the staging shelf.

How does the Stirolight 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 Stirolight 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 Stirolight is better suited to households that need flexibility, portability or adjustable height, or where wall installation is not practical, such as in a rental.

How do I care for and clean the Stirolight Ironing Board on Wheels 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. The galvanised metal ironing surface can be wiped with a cloth periodically. The rubber wheels require no maintenance under normal household use.
