This ironing board is great
 

Omg! I took the boards advice... Went to walmart online and ordered the extra wide ironing board,and i love it, sturdy, and has a nice iron rest, and a little mini board all for 42.00 thank god for this quilting board i can't be without it...lol i wait all day so i can sit after dinner and check out all the new ideas love u guys....linda from rhode island

It is an addicting place. Glad the ironing board and Quilting board both worked out for you!

I've been drooling over a large piece of plywood in my DH's shop. I made an ironing board out of a piece of plywood
18" X 48". I could have made it longer and wished I had. Found out really quickly that I didn't really have any room to set the iron down and still be able to smooth out a length of fabric 45" wide. This new piece of plywood is about 24" X 53". That would be a really nice size. I set my board on a table which is 24" X 48" and I raised it up with PVC pipe over the legs.

I'll have to ck this out. thanks for sharing!

I'll Check it out, thanks!!!

Great ideas for an ironing board center!

Ironing board
 

Is it rectangular shaped or shaped like a regular ironing board, but wider?

Kathy it is 18 x 48, just like reg ironing board but wider...I got one several months ago and love, love, love it. I did go to Bed, Bath & Beyond and got a thick ironing board cover - just put it on over the one that came with it, used one of my 20% off coupons. The board is nice and heavy too...You can't go wrong for the price.

I looked online at Walmart after I saw this thread and did not see a wider ironing board. :(
