I recently captured a wonderful BIG ironing board at Saver's. I love it. It cost me about 10% of what a similar board would cost new. Best of all, it has sturdy legs with grippy rubber caps that spread out enough to give me the kind of stability that I have never had before in an ironing board. I liked it so much that I made it 2 covers right away, so I can wash one without any inconvenience. I have one of those shelves underneath and I love it. I put a light basket on the shelf with my pressing cloths and spray starch. I even keep a pair of scissors in that basket for snipping tails. It also has a metal shelf on the end for the iron when not in use (that's where I keep a spray bottle of water). Look for features that will make your quilting easier--stability, size, handy features, and height adjustment and you'll find the right ironing board for you!
