I’m not looking for another heavy piece of furniture. I’m trying to multipurpose the desk and like that it raises up when needed. Just something to place over the entire surface of my existing 30x60 desk that I also use as a cutting table. This desk raises up when I need to use it as a cutting table so I’m not all bent over. A great back saver. I think a thick piece of wool will work fine and then I can just roll it up to store when I don’t need it. It would be mostly for ironing finished pieced quilt tops and larger pieces of fabric. I already have a smaller ironing station that I use when piecing a quilt.
