10 Easy Pieces: Ironing Boards, Low to High

April 8, 2015

A friend recently asked me for help finding an ironing board presentable enough to leave out in the open. While I did my research, he plunged ahead and bought a white plastic monstrosity with a hospital-blue polyester cover. After using it once and conceding defeat, he asked me again: Are there any decent ironing boards out there?

There are. Here are 10.
