I purchased a ironing surface at a quilt show a few years ago. It's made from wood and about 3' x 1 1/2'. It has wooden boards on each side that serve as "legs". I covered it with the silver ironing stuff but will probably go with a heavy fabric next time. It sits on a table next to my sewing table. For our 5th wheel I took one of the ironing board/cutting board combos to use.
