I rarely iron, but I wanted something to iron my cross stitch projects after I completed them. It worked great for that. I then used it to iron pants and it worked great for that. However, as far as quality, this is nothing like the mesh my mother used to iron, but it did not cost much either. I doubt that it will hold up for any length of time if you use it a lot, but for the maybe 5 or 6 times a year i would use it, it should hold up for a long time.
