How great! I need to look into this. I'm always afraid one of my dogs will knock over the ironing board and send a hot iron crashing to the floor. This bench is just what I need. Thanks for sharing.

Does this table come fully assembled? I looked online, and I saw these four spikes sticking up, plus the vice on the side. Did you have to saw those down? ([email protected])

That is a super idea, but I don't really have the space. I have a big board that sits on top of my regular ironing board. I can take it off when needed.

The table comes completely unassembled. Just don't insert the dowels or vice assembly. I laid the rubber gripper mat on the top to stop the ironing board from slipping.

Great idea -- thanks.

Just checked -- the table is 60" long and I don't have that much room. Sigh.

Thanks, had never seen it assembled at the store. For the gal who asked, you put it together yourself (instructions included). We are adding a stabilizer bar on the back.

Great idea-have to see if I can fit one in my room. Two questions though-stabilizer bar? To stabilize what?

I think my husband will fall off his rocker if I ask to stop at Harbor Freight on the way out of town.....

Might be worth it just to see the look on his face.
