Oh, me, too! Liking the four legs instead of the T legs, that is. I hate those T leg boards; they wobble like mad.
For years my mother had and used a wooden ironing board, and it was sturdy as it could be (but I admit, a bit heavy) Years later I realized that board was gone from her house and asked her about it. She had thrown it out! (She used a more modern metal one). I still can hardly bear knowing that if I'd once said to her that I wanted it, she would have given it to me. But then I never dreamed she'd just decide one day to get rid of it.
