Getter get one that can be hung on the door/wall - same thing, but less moving around and a lot easier to 'get out' than the table top ones IMO. Besides, it will need a large clear table top to sit on... those are scarce in our house.

If you're reluctant to get the large one out, who says you'll be inclined to use the small one? Chances are, they'll just sit together in the same cupboard having conversation ;). So my vote would be for something that at least won't clog up the storage space.

like your thinking! Grin will investigate fold down ones, though where to put it..

I iron very infrequently, and when I do I never think it worth getting out the ironing board. I just put the item to be ironed on a (clean) chopping board in the kitchen, or on a thick folded up towel (or similar) on table or work surface. Can you not just make do with something like this?

A fiver in ikea,I iron so rarely it's fine for me.

i would do that front door but i always end up bunching up the towel

fiver in ikea sounds perfect!
