Does the iron-rest come off when you want to use that end of the board? It looks like it kind of snaps off and on.

No, it doesn't. The iron-rest is not detachable. It is solid and strong even for my heavy Rowenta DG 8430. I also can hang several clothes when I am ironing. You will like it, unless you are looking for detachable iron-rest.

No, it is part of the board, but I do not find it too much in the way. And it comes in handy when I'm ironing bigger things like new fabric or sheets.

The model we have does not snap off. It could be cut off, but I wouldn't recommend it.

It has a small translucent cap on the end that does not look like it comes off. But it does come off without trouble. That may be your issue as we tried it with the cap on first too.

If you drilled out the rivets that hold it on, yes. If n it, no. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to drill out the rivets. I love everything about the ironing board except the iron holder. It cradles the iron rather than is a stand area for it. It feels awkward. Otherwise it is rad. My hubby is a VERY large man-shirts are huge, this board is wide enough that the shirt doesn't touch the ground while I'm ironing it. It's sturdy and seems like it will last for years.

the back snaps into place. I have not tried to remove it but would think it would snap out again.

Mine comes off. You might have to jiggle it at little, don't force it. It doesn't come off smoothly, but it does eventually release.

You have a keyhole for the board to snap into. Drop the board into the larger part of the keyhole and push it back to jam it into the narrower part of the keyhole that should keep the board in place.

I have not had either of these problems and the board gets a lot of use. It has held up very well and still looks great. It is very strong and I highly recommend it!

Not very well. Only the upper board declines. What supports it is the upper bar you see in the image, between the two posts. So if you remove the bar altogether, it declines down onto that lower bar. This set is okay, but the main reason I bought was because it's cheap. It's a ways off, but I'm already planning to replace it with something sturdier, bigger, and heavier.

No, however I have found the iron rest to be very useful. It has silicone strips on it which allows you to place a hot iron in it while you are ironing. This allows you full, unobstructed use of the entire ironing board. I also use it as a hanger rack when I'm ironing.

I removed the iron rest. It was making the board too long to fit in my closet anyway! I agree that the cover is quite thin.

Backboard is solid. The paint is coming off of the back board though. Rest is very sturdy.

The board is pretty solid....my ironing board has not left any patterns on my clothes. Maybe you need to change the iron board covering.

No it is not, it is welded on. You could have it cut off. Excellent board very sturdy.

While I have not detached it, the instructions indicate that it can be detached. The board is more sturdy than most boards and the dry erase works very well with the eraser and ink set that I ordered with it.

yes it does come off, and actually a little easier than I like. It's just anchored by a couple of tabs that fit in 2 slots and it's plastic so it could be a little sturdier. Hope this helps. Otherwise, it's a great keyboard for the money

You can rest it on the wide end of the board if in the straight out position, on the base area of the bracket holding the board if in the turned position, or on either of the shelves, the top one having the metal heat protection designed for storing the iron.

Mine stays in place, but as my review said, I had to bend it to get the iron in, so it's sort of a custom fit now. If it does move you could easily bend the metal so it doesn't move
