I used a bathroom vanity I found at a yard sale for a dollar. It had drawers on one side and 2 doors on the other. I had a drawer handle on the drawers that would just hold a pair of scissors. DH put a back on the cabinet with some paneling. Since it lacked height, he put together a frame out of ply wood with casters for it to move around. He put on locking casters so it would not roll if I wanted. Then he rigged a frame for the top so it would not sag. Then DH used smooth dense particle board he varnished for a top. The particle board is smoother than strand board. You can get particle board with a rounded edge too. He put one piece of the particle board on the top then he hinged a piece to the back of the cabinet. There were fold up legs so it would set level. Then we attached an ironing board end to one end of the cabinet it had a leg hinged on it, too. This all folded out huge and stored pretty tight. We were not able to move it with us during our move. I think I like the idea of the top to be a surface I can iron on for next time.
