When my husband built my sewing center I wanted a pressing station that I could pull out. I thought it was a great idea! However, I never use it. I get up and go over to the ironing board to press. The time savings are not worth the problems of sitting too long at a time. I probably go up and down the stairs 30 or so times a day to say nothing of other stand and walk activities. So, fellow quilters, keep moving.
My chiro tells me that it's better to have my ironing board across the room so I have to get up and move around often. I have my sewing rooms upstairs with gives me essentially the same thing you have. I have to get up and go downstairs to get food, something to drink, put laundry in or any of the other things I'm doing while sewing. I think it does help me to move around more.
