Which ironing board should I choose?
My old ironing board has started to collapse for no reason a little too often. It is fairly heavy and one of these times it is going to hit my foot so I need to get a new one but I don't want to spend a fortune. Any ideas or thoughts on which one to get? If you just got a new one, I'd love to know where you got it and the price if you don't mind sharing that information. Thank you.

I have not bought it yet. ( On my Christmas List ) I want the extra wide one, it has a shelf underneath and a place to set the iron on the end. I think it is just under $50.00 Would be great to iron large pieces on!!

The problem you people have is that you iron. I mean clothes and stuff. I iron when I sew, and only when I have too. I have a large 2ft by 4ft surface for that. Now don't get me wrong, I don't send my husband out without ironed shirts. He wears knit (lol) just kidding, his shirts are ironed. I taught him how to iron them years ago. He likes it. If I sneak a few of my shirts in amongst his shirts he irons them too. And he can buy any size ironing board he wants to. And any iron. Psst, can you tell I hate to iron. Have a good day, and teach your husband to iron by the weekend.

I bought this one a few months ago from Walmart. I think I paid just under $40 for it. LOVE IT! The wideness is great for pressing yardage, rows, and small items and you have more space with the holder on the end. I haven't used the shelf yet but don't keep it set up as my little grandson is just the right height.

Paatski, do you remember the name of it at all. One that I was looking at was on the Walmart website and it said it was available in the store. Price was mid $20's I think. Just a plain board without any iron stand. I use it a lot for ironing the neckties I make. I also make potholders I sell wholesale and these fabrics all need ironing before they are sewn. I also iron a few clothes but not many. We are retired and wear most things as they come out of dryer.
