An interesting idea, but how do you keep the ironing board from moving around?

Great idea! I would love to see a picture. How tall are your storage units?

I like the idea of having storage under the board, but what about the loss of it being open underneath, so you can slide something circular [skirts, dresses, pants, etc] onto it? I also wonder about what PamJr asked.

What a great idea! My ironing board is a permanent fixture near the sewing machine and serger but I am forever trying to figure out where to put my ironing aids (sleeve board, ham, etc...) I'm not sure my current board would work with it's adjustable legs but a length of 3/4" plywood cut to ironing board shape then covered with a standard cover would do the trick!!!!! Now if I can only remember what I did with our circular saw... Thanks! Oh, as to the question of sliding things underneath, try using a sleeve board instead. With one end being next to the wall and the other with an iron-holder, I haven't been able to use my ironing board ends in years.

It doesn't really move about -the legs on my board are pretty compact- I haven't looked closely at newer ones to see how flat they lie when closed. Pheobe's suggestion about a board is great. As for the openness- the front unit is set back about 18" which leaves room for circular items. My units are 40"- but as I said I shopped around for the height that I wanted - I am tall (over 5'10")and wanted nore height than most people would want.
