Attached is a picture of how mine is set up. I put four 34 inch high by 30 inch wide bookcases so that one set of two backed against the second set of two. I than went to Home Depot and had them cut me a piece of plywood that was 60 inches by 36 inches. I used the ironing board material from JoAnn's, some batting for a little cushion and a heavy duty stapler. I stapled the batting and fabric to the underside. I now have the perfect ironing board, storage and a place to use as a cutting table when not ironing. I am short, so the 34 inch high bookcases worked for me.
PS: Do not look at how messy it is.
