Questions About Ironing Iron
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024
    The difference between iron and cast iron comes down to content. Iron is generally pure iron, a chemical element that is a solid metal at room temperature.

Generally, cast iron is heavier than iron. Shop an assortment of iron and cast iron pieces on 1stDibs.
