DH made me a large ironing board. It's 24X48. He had a scrap of plywood, put thick batting, then old sheet and that silver fabric. He put about 4 inch feet on the bottom and I put it on top of my large cutting table(2-6 ft tables together)and I still have plenty of room to do cutting and such. My cutting tables are set up on risers so when I iron it is at a very comfortable height.
