Ironing Board Fundamentals

Direct answer: A tabletop ironing board is a short-legged board, commonly about 12 x 32 in (30 x 80 cm), that sits on a counter, table or bed. It is enough for shirts, blouses, trousers and touch-ups in a dorm, hotel room or small apartment, but it is too short for sheets, long dresses and heavy pressing sessions where a full-size board is faster.
