Smile Are you about 5'4"? Can you get out your measuring tape? Need information

Hi.....I've been doing lots of sewing lately and that involves lots of pressing. I've got a big board ironing board that my husband made and I just had him heighten it. I am not sure if it needed to be higher or not...but my back was aching. I am 5'4" and would like to know if you are about 5'4" tall......what height is your ironing board or ironing surface from the floor? Right now, mine is heightened to 36" high. I always stand when pressing. If you stand when you press.........can you please measure your height and post it?

I know I need to take frequent breaks and I usually sew about 6-7 hours a day. So, instead of lessening my sewing time, I'm trying to get my stuff set-up for best ergonomics.

So, get out those tape measurers, measure 'em up and post the height. Meanwhile, I'll "rest" a bit.

Thanks everyone!
