I wonder if anybody could provide the size of the hole (opening) into which the iron fits. I purchased a new iron which seems to be a little larger than most.
Thanks in advance,

The hole is 5 1/4 x 6 1/2. The iron sort of leans into the area, supported by two slanty shelf-type things. I have to be honest, I do not put my iron there, but it is a handy area to hold pieces that need to be ironed. It also has a bar there for hanging shirts when I iron, and I put my spray starch can there. I am not sure why I don't put my iron there. It certainly supports it. Habit, I guess, plus that part of the ironing board sticks out next to the door to my sewing room. Maybe I am afraid I will knock the iron off?
