I have one of the small ironing boards setting on a plastic storage tub at the side of my chair, making an L shape from the sewing table and press seams here we have a standard ironing board set up for large pieces but this is much handier for seam pressing. I also bought a cheap iron that just stays hot than plug all into power strip so that machine, lights, iron comes on than can turn off with one button. Safer that way don't forget the iron and leave it on.
