My ironing board used to stay up in my sewing room at all times so I just dedicated a space for one when I moved into my new studio. DH and I took an old shelving unit, cut it to the right height, and then made a permanent plywood top for it--about 18" X 56". I covered it with a layer of foil, 2 layers of W&N and then some cotton duck fabric that had been hanging around forever looking for a home. Just wrapped and stapled it all to the underside. It does not fold up, but it can be moved quite easily. I love that it has storage underneath for starch, press cloths, fusibles, etc.
