I like it!
I did a similar thing; I press fabric in the living room and the ironing board was a real eyesore and my fibro/arthritis were getting worse so standing was becoming more difficult. So I took 2 nightstands from my "grands" room, bought a piece of melamine covered helving and covered it with some canvas like striped fabric that looks much better than an ironing board. I ue a dining room chair to sit at it and press away.
It's also handy when the grands are here. The laptop sits on top of it and we can easily monitor what they are doing on the internet.
