I set my regular size ironing board just behind me and adjust it to a lower height. I use an office type chair that swivels so when I'm ready to iron, I simply turn around in my chair and press. Don't have to stand or get up, makes it sound like I'm sorta lazy, but it does save time. While on the subject of irons and ironing boards, I recently caught my foot in the cord of my iron and knocked it on the floor. It landed right side up on the area rug and left the shape of the iron burnt into it. Not good for polyester blend rugs. To solve that problem, I took a very large safety pin (remember the diaper pins before pampers??) and pinned it to the opposite side of the ironing board. By running the cord through the safety pin it slides when it needs to and keeps the cord away from clumzy me.
