Will watch ya all describe yours.:)
I do find the width I am at is pretty much the max when pressing detailed work. It doesn't seem like it's very wide to start, but when you are doing a whole quilt top, it becomes a long stretch across, especially when you're being careful not to stand on the quilt that is draping between you and the board.
Just mentioning this, as it'd be work practicing on your 30x60 before you commit to it, just in case you find the same.
Good point, this would be set up in the spare room next door to my sewing room. I'd only use it for yardages. I do have a 24x48 that might be more practical.
For next to my sewing machine I have a wood tv tray that I covered. I tend to press very little, except with my fingers and and half of a clothespin.:)
