There's usually an abundance of ironing boards at Thrift Stores.
And at minimal prices!
Just check that they sit solid and are at the height you want.
Plus ... I would never have a narrow ended ironing board for quilting again.
Too awkward when pressing yardage or quilt tops.
A Thrift acquisition takes away the guilt of adding a piece of plywood to the top of an expensive new one to create the perfect quilter's pressing centre!

We saw an ironing system in Shipshewana this year that cost $2600 US. It was kind of a steam thing & puffed the board cover up when you went to press your pieces. Needless to say... I didn't stick around for the full presentation!
