Ironing board Leifheit Classic M Basic 120x38 cm – standard iron rest, height-adjustable

The Leifheit Classic M Basic ironing board offers a compact 120 x 38 cm working surface suited for everyday household ironing. Designed for smaller homes and first apartments, this model combines a height-adjustable metal frame with an integrated fixed iron rest and a transport lock for safe handling and storage. The board is compatible with steam irons and intended to support regular pressing of shirts, trousers and household linen while enabling easy height adjustment to suit user needs.

Advantages

The Classic M Basic features a stable metal construction with improved rust protection and a stretched metal ironing surface that provides consistent support. A fixed metal iron rest allows secure placement of the iron during short pauses. Height adjustability from 69 to 88 cm helps reduce strain on the back by letting users select a comfortable working height. A transport lock prevents the frame from opening while moving the board and makes compact, space-saving storage possible.

How to use

Set the ironing board on a flat, stable surface and release the transport lock.

Use the stretched metal surface with a suitable ironing cover or pad if additional padding is required. After use, fold the board, engage the transport lock and store it in a vertical or horizontal position as space allows.

Usage recommendations

Use a heat-resistant ironing cover or pad to protect the stretched metal surface and improve ironing results. For steam ironing, allow adequate ventilation and avoid excessive water drip on the metal surface. When moving the board, always engage the transport lock and verify that the frame is fully closed before carrying.
