Thrift stores often sell gently used ironing boards, or you can find one on a local reselling website or app such as Nextdoor , Craigslist , Freecycle , Letgo or OfferUp. There are lots of methods to de-wrinkle your clothes without an ironing board — or even an iron! They are designed to break after a few years, because the folding mechanism is made of cheap mild steel and the legs often buckle if someone places a heavy load of washing on them.

No matter, use a bit of fencing wire to lock them in an open position, then use them as light work benches in the studio or garden. Sure they are light, but many tasks do not need a heavy table. If you have a few of them, you have in effect a modular bench system that you can reconfigure with no effort. They are light enough to move with one arm which is very useful if like me, you find yourself in need of a bench when you have one arm full. I suspect our ironing board will outlive us since we use it that rarely in fact we were utterly shocked to find we had one — we thought it had gone to the furniture charity shop before we moved house.

It feels really flimsy though so I suspect if we used any more than once a year, it would fall apart in a shot. With a tablecloth over it, it could also be an emergency table for a party or bbq. Any other suggestions? I was using mine as a temporary table to do something the other day and got to thinking if two bottom parts might be able to support a coffee table top that would be adjustable in height that would also function as a dining table or work desk.

I use mine a lot because I sew and maintain that the best way to improve your sewing is to learn how to iron. You could keep it in the closed position and sew pockets on the cover to stash lightweight stuff in. We camp a lot, and I have seen people place an ironing board in front of their camper for a table. Nothing heavey is placed on it, sometimes just a catch all, but once we saw it used as a bar, with an ice bucket, glasses and a few bottles of alcohol and mixers.

I really liked that idea! Anyway, a variation on the table idea. Open it, turn it upside down, so the board is the base, fasten the legs in place, and add a board or something for a table top. Using two old ironing boards together might make for a sturdier base, and allow for a bigger top. Can old clothes go in recycle bin? No clothing. Brahin Eckerlin Professional.
