LOL! I started reading that blog with a glass of wine in hand, dh asleep, and dd away for the evening. How appropriate!
Have seen this type of ironing board demonstrated at Sam's Club. I don't think anyone purchased it, though, as it was after the crash of the economy. I would love to have one, but haven't been able to justify the cost in relation to the amount of time I spend ironing (even on quilting projects!).
