hi so true, i think we might start a movement here, lol, the world converting the humble pool table for higher quilting purposes hehehe, i like having mine as the ironing board to, great to iron the full size quilt and i brought clamps too so i can clamp both sides and pin. now i am up to the how and which design do i do on it. oooo made matching pillow slips too.. i am such a good mum... lol

I lay a sheet then a heavy piece of vinyl over that. I have a cutting matt on one end...and a shelf from the tv unit (it's not wide enough for the size tv hubby bought) wrapped in cotton batting and muslin..that's for ironing. When I need to pin down binding or trim a quilt...I lay it out like you have yours...perfect! Quilt table manufacturer's need to make something similar...lol

white layer-ironing board, then plastic, then back of quilt, then top of quilt.

ironing cover stapled on, because its a solid top it can still be taken off to play pool.. :-)
