I own 2 of these over the door ironing board holders by Sunbeam. I have a 20 something year old heavy metal board which fits perfectly in the holder. It is sturdy enough to hold it. Very little sway when opening the door. My other ironing board is newly purchased and much lighter in weight. It does swing back and firth when I open the door. I ended up putting some felt on the door where the board hits it and now the problem is solved. I do recommend this product for its value and usefulness.
