I made myself the heavy piece of furniture because I had the room to set up a big, dedicated pressing station...which I love!! I can press something over 1/2 yard all at once.
I know it is not what you are looking for but I bought an old IKEA table off Craigslist, covered it with two layers of batting and then a subtle paint-speckled print by McKenna Ryan (??) and stapled all in place. I too set it on risers to bring the table to hip bone height, sure saves the back. I would love to cover it in wool felt but so far have not found a felt wide enough.
