"poor quality cover"
Having bought the Lakeland compact ironing board a few months ago, I was very disappointed with the quality of the cover and thin layer of foam underneath. Lately, it became clear I was going to have to replace it. I decide to purchase the easy iron felt pad, cut it to size and then to my surprise, when I opened the new replacement cover, it now has a felt back and is more cushioned. I decided to keep the pad and the new cover on the board, so now I have a very well padded ironing board! Well done Lakeland, for listening to your customers and improving the quality of the cover.
