Mirror/Ironing Board Concept

Aha! I hate pulling down ironing boards and then having to fold their screechy legs back up. Having one disguised as a mirror is a great idea that would save time and space. (Just figure out stability.) [Aissallogerot via Toxel]

    I ironed on a glass table once.. POP! Instantly cracked the whole thing. It was in a hotel in Japan and I couldn't find an ironing board. So I doubt this has been road tested.. either that or they'd have to make the mirror out of something else and it would be a crappy mirror. FAIL

    @Curves: It looks like the side you actually use is the red, back of the mirror.

    Existential question: why do all ironing boards squeak? I have owned any number of folding chairs and tables and none of them squeak like that. It's a great mystery.

    What do you do with the iron?

    @Michai:
    I think an upgrade would have been a door mounted mirror that swings down to be an ironing board

    I'm just amazed that the design of ironing boards has been unchanged for the last 200 years. There was some comedian who brought up some good points about it...like who's idea was it to have a hot, heavy, steamy, pointy thing on an unstable, screechy, sharp-metal-edged platform. That sounds like a recipe for disaster on paper.

    @Curves: Based on the pictures, I don't think you're supposed to use the mirror side to iron your clothes on but the flip side that seems to have a red cover on it.

    @Curves: Heh, I was trying to figure out what you were saying because she's wearing black shoes. Though red might add a little zip to that outfit.

    I like products that employ more than one function. This seems rather cool and easy to clean too. Lets just hope its highly buffed stainless and not glass.

    I love my ironing board (extra starch please!) but I am not so sure about this one. Imagine how yucky the starch, lint and dust will look when steamed into the mirror every day. And whats with the ONE set of legs with tacky red shoes on the bottoms? You break that mirror and its 7 years of bad luck wrinkles. Sorry but Fail.
