My desk I'm sitting at right now as I type is 24" x 60". That's a huge ironing board. I made an extra board to fit as an attachment to my regular board. Also covered it with the same cover. Really comes in handy. I like the fact I can put it aside since my room is small 8x9. If you're like me it doesn't really take that long to make it look busy again and I don't even have to be in the room for 2 minutes. I just walk in set something down and it seems to explode.
