Rowenta is supposedly a good name; but, its ironing board cover with attached pad is less than it should be. The pad is not as thick as a previous one; the cover itself is barely wide enough and, more annoyingly, there are not strings to tie under the cover to hold it snug. I purchased small bungy cords which helped. I purchased a second cover and pad from another vendor at about the same price which is much thicker and has strings to keep the cover snug. I will use the Rowenta cover but replace it with the better one after this one wears out. Overall - disappointing!
