I built my own Big Board a few months ago, and happily placed it on our Walmart Special, el-cheapo, ironing board. Gradually the support seemed more and more wobbly and by Sunday night, I was working on a 30 degree incline (not great for wrists by the way). Last night, it died. I looked over and watched in mock horror as it gently tipped towards me, spilling books and fabric onto me, the bed, and the floor...

One of the legs finally gave up the ghost and buckled. I do suspect that I had help in my abuse of said board from my 10 year old as he confessed to leaning hard on it, and more than once the Corgis appeared on top of the board, and I did my fair share by stacking books on it when not using it. Though it was a definite sign that I had to stack things in specific corners in order that it not tip over...

So, the standard T-legs design does not work for me. What brands do you use that are sturdy and stable?

Cheers, K
