Looks great. I have a similar set-up, only with open shelves below. It sits against the wall, but on carpet sliders so I can pull it away from the wall for pressing larger pieces of fabric.. I love having all that extra storage beneath the ironing board, plus it's so much more stable than a traditional folding board.

Instead of stapling the outer fabric to the board, just staple the padding but make a "pillowcase" for it and when it gets dirty either easily wash or replace.
Thanks for sharing your great idea.

This is what I did. It makes it so much easier to be able to slide off the dirty, starchy "pillowcase" and throw it in the washer. I can't imagine how to clean it otherwise, except to have to unstaple it so often.
