have you tried bath, bed & beyond?
I have a 19 inch one coming but don't know how low it goes

I agree with Jeanne S--check Bed, Bath and Beyond--they have many choices and more on their website. Same with irons.

My mother has one of those. They don't make them anymore. If they had marketed them to quilters they would have made a mint and still be in production.

Yup! That's mine too!

My ironing board is over 100yrs old I love it but it is not hgt adjustable and it also seems to be getting heavier. So I re-purposed one of those tables that goes over a hospital bed. I can adjust the hgt.And it's the perfect size for pressing blocks. I can actually make it short enough for my GDs to sit on the floor and color. I see one every time I go out shopping the 2nd hand stores and they range in price from $10 to $20 way cheaper then boards from WM.

Wow. I am a nurse and never thought of that. Great idea and thanks for sharing it.

This sounds like a great idea. I'll be on the look-out for one of those.

I have my one and only ever board from first marriage (1971) and it goes pretty low. Dh cut me a board that is easy to remove from my ironing board. It's just light enough to remove but heavy enough to stay put. I attached silver ironing cover to it. it's 20"x 40".

I didn't like the 18 inch one I got at Walmart. the metal top is a bit bendy when I iron. I still use it but haven't gotten rid of my 20+ old one!! not sure how low it goes.

I couldn't find one I liked, so I took a piece of board and made a slip on cover for it using that ironing board stuff you get by the yard from Nancy's or Joann's. To iron I lay it over one of those small lightweight rectangular fold up tables that they sell at Sam's. I'm short, so I can stand and iron at it comfortably, but it also is a good height for sitting and ironing (just a little lower than my sewing machine cabinet).

I used a scrap board so it's a little narrower than the table, but it is long enough that I can iron the entire 45" width of a piece of fabric on it. It's light enough that I can easily put it out of the way when I need the table for something else.
