The metallic cover is great
"The metallic cover is great as it reduces the time spent ironing. It is also very resistant to stains. However, the ironing board size “C” is one of the most useful items I have ever bought. 1. Yes, of course I use I use it as an Ironing board along with my steam generator iron which fits very conveniently on the solid metal space dedicated to this. It is also wonderful to be able to have such a wide range of height adjustments available. 2. Our holiday flat, attached to our daughter’s home is small so I use my ironing board (I have one there and one at our main home!) as a very convenient “kitchen island”. I throw a waterproof cover over it, adjust it to “chopping height” and when I’m done, I fold it up, pull over a hand made, quilted cover, and stand it against the wall. 3. I love to sew! I adjust it to the correct height so I can put a chair in front of it - plenty of room underneath for my legs - and as it it very wide and very long, there is lots of space to have all the gadgets, sewing thread etc right next to me on the board and absolutely strong enough to have quite a heavy sewing machine on it. So, I LOVE my Brabantia Ironing Board and cover."
