Here's what I wanted:
Big - check
Sturdy - check
Lots of storage underneath - check
Correct height for me - check

WOW!!! That looks exactly like what I have on my "want" list.

It's wonderful! I hope to one day have a room big enough to keep a permanent pressing table.
That is a great table!

Check-check-check-check! We all need one just like yours! :-D

cool, thanks for sharing with us

Wow!

I love it.

Absolutely perfect. Where can I get one?

That is really, really nice! :thumbup: Wish I had room for one like that. Still waiting for my grown children to leave... :cry:

We bought the shelving unit at Ikea and turned it on it's side, bought a "craft board" and "L" brackets from Lowe's Hardware and got ironing board fabric at Pacific Fabrics.

Assembled completely in about an hour.

Is it moveable so that fabric can hang over the side by the wall?

Looks great!

I love it.... It is the perfect idea. I even showed my DH this post. hint ....hint...hint

It's about 3 inches from the wall and could be pulled out more as needed.

Nice table!!!

I want one! Very nice.

Very nice!

Wow, just what I need.

What is 'craft board' and what do you like about the fabric as oppossed to just cotton to iron on?

Another idea for my dream sewing room when the kids move out and I can have a bigger sewing room. Only about 12 more years if I'm lucky. Of course I say that now, but I'll be crying when they really do leave the nest!

Wow, that is great. Thanks for sharing.

IKEA here I come!

How tall is it? Taller than a regular ironing board? I do get tired of hunching over and messing my back and shoulders up.

Wow! You are so creative! I thought your sewing studio had everything before! This is just the icing on the cake! LOL

I don't exactly know what craft board is, LOL. We went looking for a sheet of plywood to cut down but they were pretty rough and there would have been waste. Farther down the aisle there were these really nice boards with no knotholes that were the perfect size. Mine is 20 by 72 inches. The had bigger and smaller.

I like to use the reflective fabric because it helps heat up the bottom side of whatever I'm ironing and it doesn't stick so bad to adhesives. I love the fabric from Bo-Nash but it doesn't come big enough.

I sprayed the board with adhesive, stuck the batting to it, sprayed that layer with more adhesive and stuck another layer on. Then sprayed that and stuck the top fabric to it. Turned the whole thing over and stapled it around the edges. Creases smoothed out the first time I used it.

I chose this one for it's height. We looked at some others that we would have needed to add feet to. This shelf is about 37 inches plus another inch for board and padding. Perfect for Jenni and I and we are both about 5'8".

way to go! like this alot!

love it. what is the cabinet and where did you get it

I sure like your sturdy part. And just the right height for you. I am only 4'11", and all of them are too tall. Especially a counter height cutting table. grrrrrrrrrr

Very Nice!! I bet it works very well!

Great ironing board and space!

5'8" would work for me! since that is how tall I am.. :lol:

I found lots of short stuff! You should really look at shelving units or end tables even. I bet you could find something perfect.

That is amazing ! Maybe if I remove that shelf and that rolling cart and stuffed the other stuff in the closet, I could make room. Hmmm, or.....

I am getting my sewing room to a place I like it, almost. My poor husband just rolls his eyes when I tell him a new idea. Although I don't know what he has to gripe about, I put the last Ikea shelf together all by myself and nearly ripped my dang arm off in the process. It was one of those big Ikea cubby shelves. But if I wait for help, I will wait awhile.

I do love that ironing table though. Perfection !

Very nice!

Love it! Thank you for sharing the idea. I'd never thought about putting a unit on its side. Hmmmm....

That is one of the best pressing units I have seen.
Showed my DH too. Just need a larger room:)
