the wider apart the pairs of points are, the more stable the board will be. |
Went to Bed,Bath,Beyond and purchased the store model (still pricey). Very nice. After he purchased me a new iron, he didn't want it to take a header any more than I did. It was the advice on this board that helped me make my decision. Many, Many thanks.

Well my iron went out today. I think it was from being rocked off the board so many times. It was a Shark and I loved it. My back up is my Rowenta, which is heavier and doesn't seen to work as well as my Shark. So tomorrow I will be shopping for a new ironing board and iron.
eimay, you were wise to by the ironing board for your new iron. |
Pack up your coupons. Maybe you can get both the iron and the board.

I found an old one in very good condition at the thrift store. It is VERY heavy metal! It has the 4-point feet instead of the bars like the one shown. It does not MOVE at all when you are using it! :)
I think I paid $5 for it! |

Thanks for all of the advise. I did get a new one at Target. I paid $59 for it. But I just decided that I am tired of not having a decent ironing board. I just have to get used to the iron holder on the end. I also bought an additional pad to go it since the one on it was very thin. My next project is to make a square board to go on top of this for extra ironing space.

Wally World has both kinds mentioned here.
