The retail on that is $161 on Amazon. You got a great deal! We have one at the shop, and it's fabulous! We put two layers of flannel together (for a receiving blanker or burp cloths), steam press them together, then serge around the outside with pearl crown rayon. We have a 4 ft square wool pressing table under it.
I wouldn't want to use it for pressing a quilt block, just because it's so heavy, and I don't use steam when pressing my quilt blocks.
