My ancient ironing board (which I thrifted) is coming to the end of its long life; the locking latch isn't working as it should and I will definitely need a new one in the near future. During our last visit to IKEA I noticed this tabletop ironing board for $9.99, and grabbed it.
It's very lightweight, and not particularly heavily padded, but I prefer that. It also comes with a built-in hook for hanging, which is frankly brilliant.
The tabletop design is appropriate for light items or piecework like quilters do. At 28-¾" x 12-½" it's not going to handle huge items, but for everyday ironing it's perfect.
The fact that I can hang it on the side of my sewing room bookcase is even better. Recommended.
