I have my mothers old ironing board from the 60's. It is very sturdy and of course adjustable heightwise. Needs a new top, but haven't gotten there yet. I now use it to iron clothes only.
I picked up a mesh adjustable one from Goodwill that looks brand new for $1.50. Washed it down, made new top for it and love it for all the steam I use. For all my sewing needs
I also have a Rowenta and love it.
