Looking for Ironing Board
#1
Wondering if anyone has had this problem and found a solution. I am tall and would love to find a "tall" ironing board. I checked at Bed-Bath & Beyond, Sears, Meijers, Target to no avail. Looked on-line and they all seem to be the same height. Ironing is hard on my back and shoulders. If I could find a tall and extra-wide ironing board I would be in seventh heaven. Would like a wider one but would settle for just a taller one.

Hi,
Why can't you get a long table and use a board and cover it to make a big ironing board and then use the table leg lifters under the table to make it taller?
here is a link to make your own table top ironing board

I picked the iron up and held it above the dresser and measured how far it was to the dresser top and that gave me the measurement for the riser. The riser is two pieces of MDF and a 4X4 fence post cut into 4 inch sections. It gave me a total rise of about 5.5 inches.

I created a topic about this recently. You can make your own pressing board, any size or height. Very easy and inexpensive!
