From the reviews it looks like that's a crappy ironing board for anything.

You can make one yourself at a fraction of the cost of buying one (and assuming either you or someone in your family is handy):

My fil made mine as a gift, I could never buy one pre made and hurt his feelings.

It's reduced for a reason. If you read the critiques, I would say to save your money. It looks to me like too many mechanisms to go wrong. I would say the simpler the better. I won't buy anything from any of those TV shopping shows. It is all a rip off.

June ~ Have you heard of the Big Board? I love mine. I figured that 90% of the time my standard sized ironing board is sufficient, so why take up extra space in my little sewing room by having a huge ironing board? I keep the Big Board on the floor directly next to my ironing board .... when I need it, I just pop it over my standard board. I have also found a dual purpose for the Big Board, since I pin baste my quilts on it using the Harriet Hargrave method of pin basting. No more back breaking ordeal crawling all over the floor. If some pins "nick' the Big Board wood, it is no big deal. They sell the Big Board online. Pricey ($100), but they do not charge shipping. It is made of sturdy wood and will hold up until I'm "pushing daisies". Might need to purchase another cover at some time, but that is no big deal. I could probably sew one if I put my mind to it!

read the reviews on the side. They are saying its terrible for everything.

I agree with the others. The reviews are too negative for me to take a risk on spending $80. Also, it just looks too danged complicated for me. I like simple, basic things that I don't have to read instructions or watch a video just to figure out how to use it.

I wouldn't buy it after reading the reviews. My brother cut me a peice of plywood to put on top of my ironing board. Now that I have my own sewing room I may get rid of my ironing board and put it on a cabinet he has.

Why would you pay that much for an ironing board? For me it would have to do my ironing.

Forgot to mention the other "dual purpose" of the Big Board: When I'm machine quilting (on my Bernina domestic machine) I set up the big board to the left of my sewing table and I position the height of the ironing board so that it is flush with my sewing table. This gives me a nice big surface for my quilt to lay on and helps eliminate "drag" when I'm trying to work with all that bulk.
