I had my dh cut a piece of pegboard to place over the craft inserts (think holes to put cups in for paints) and I place my iron on that, with a silicon base for when the iron is hot.
Very convenient and good surface size.
I have a lab table on wheels that is just the right height and no need to worry about heat problems. Covered for the second time with an ironing surface that is peel and stick. If you ever find one at a used office center grab it, it is well worth looking for!
