It is the one that says $39.97 (or some number close to that). I read the information there, and now I know I can rest my iron on it, even when it is hot. Not sure I will be able to let myself do that though...

Yes, it can be stored just like a regular ironing board. I just crawled under mine, trying to decide if the iron holder can come off. It doesn't look like it would come off easily, but I didn't mess with mine much, since I want it to stay on. When the ironing board folds, it rests on this stand...it is just like an extension of the board.

There is also a shelf type thing under the board, which I thought I wouldn't want, but now that I have it up, it looks pretty useful.
I am one very pleased quilter. My sister has one of these, and I have looked online at them, but there was one at Wal-Mart...for $39. It fits in the same place my old ironing board did. Now I can't wait to iron, when normally I dread it!!

I searched and this is the ironing board cover that fits the big board ironing machine I bought. It doesn't have a price (or picture!!), but I will look and see if my Wal-Mart has one and let folks know the price. I won't go until Monday though. This is "taxs free on school supplies" weekend here in TX. I stay away from all stores this weekend....too crowded and crazy.

I recently bought one at my local WalMart and use it for my "bigger" ironing items. I use my little Rowenta on a table next to my sewing machine for piecing. I love the big one and one of the ladies at our LQS, her husband is now making the flat rectangle covered board that fits on top of the ironing board. I use that for the finished tops. What a great hobby-passion-luv-obsession-mental illness.....LOL
