Although when it comes time to iron an shirt, there's no pointy end for the sleeves. Oh, well.
You could get a small pointy-end ironing board (little legs on it) to sit on top of your rectangle one, if you had a need for one. I bought a real cheap flimsy one many years ago, but I now see better and more expensive ones in Joann's. As I have no need for another one, I haven't researched to see what is available.
