I bought a kitchen island from craigslist...I'm 5'6 and it
is a good height for me....then made an ironing board
from a 24x48 piece of OSB board...two layers of cotton
batting and canvas...I can put it on top of the island
and iron large pieces of yardage....works great for me ...
previous I had a cutting table in the center of the floor &
it just took up too much room....island is against a wall
out about 2 inches so have room for material to slide
over end when ironing..
