    I want something like this as a cutting board, so perhaps if the ironing board suited a dual purpose?......

    I put two plastic milk "cartoon" cases under my old desk. My kids used them in college to store "stuff". They are hard , sturdy and about 4 inches or so high. Worked perfectly... but not so pretty. Some day I will paint them, but usually no one notices them.

    MaryAnnMc,

    You could place clocks under it to make it higher.

    Since I posted this picture my husband cut a piece of hardboard to the exact size of my cutting board so I can use it on top of the ironing board. It isn't fastened down so I can lift it off when I need to.

    You could put risers under your cutting table Like I did, works great.

    That's ingenious!
    No the iron won't be wobbled off that table and it's multi-tasking!
