It also has an little rack on the wide end for holding the iron in a semi-upright position as well as a spot for a spray bottle. Don't know if Polder stilll makes that model, but it has served me well. I do use a sleeve board for smaller applications.
Polder is the one I ended up with after I gave away my oldie but goodie to my son. Was the best of the lot 2 years ago, except for the pop when it expands and gets uneven. I probably should have taken it back, but by the time I discovered the problem, I had removed and tossed the unwashable cover and lost the ticket at the store. Funny story about the winning of an iron board and iron.
