Product Overview
The Whitmor Tabletop Ironing Board was made as a portable ironing station that has a collapsible base to save space. It is meant for people who live in apartments, college students with small dorm room spaces, travelers, sewers, and anyone else who may not have the room for a larger ironing station.
It comes with an iron rest and a padded protective covering that is resistant to burns from heat. After use, you simply fold up the base of the ironing board under the iron rest and store it in your closet, cabinet, or anywhere else you do not need extra space.

Bottom Line
This tabletop ironing board is one of the few options that will provide you with an area to do your ironing while using as little space on the floor or in a closet. It is portable, can be folded up easily, has foldable legs, and can accommodate all the daily ironing you will ever need. However, if you have big clothes to iron it may still be easier to use a larger size ironing board.
