I made a big ironing board from a leftover piece of plywood (22" x 65") and put it on top of a 30" high Home Depot 3 shelf wire 'storage unit' (about 20 bucks). I secured the wood underneath with some screws that had wide plastic washers on them (that I saved from some other purchase but you could always get a pack of screws and wide washers). The washers fit over 2 of the wires underneath the top shelf and screw into the bottom-side of the wood. Now I have 2 shelves of space under the board to hold containers with buttons, scissors, tape measure, all that stuff plus a large surface to iron on. I used batting and felt for padding under fabric with elastic around the edges, works really well.
