I use a plastic drawer tower that's 4 stacked drawers high - about 27" high with a purchased ironing mat placed on top called a "Quilter's Square 'n Press". This is just a bit larger than the top of the drawer tower - 12" X 17", but works just fine. I can roll the drawer tower over to right next to where I sit at my machine and then it's very convenient for me to press seams as soon as I sew pieces together and I don't have to get up. The ironing mat has gold heat resistant fabric on the underside so no heat is transfered to the surface it sits on. When I'm not using this as a press station I can roll it back next to the wall, out of the way.
