Can anyone recommend an ironing board?

After donkeys years I've finally decided to invest in a new ironing board ! Can anyone recommend one.

Thanks

Buy the widest one you can find.
Less stopping to turn makes for quicker ironing.

I bought a huge one out of Instore (Poundstretcher) about a year ago in a nice blue camouflage! Came with a spare cover and one of those little ironing board thingies for doing sleeves. It was about £15 and is much wider than the standard one.

Mine is from Wilko's, it's their own make but a higher end model, it cost £24.99. It's an excellent size and very sturdy.

We had a Wilko washing line and it turned out to be a Brabantia one, selling for £50 and we paid £30.

This is ours but it also comes with a pretty pink or lemon cover I think?

I bought mine years ago from Argos ...... I chose it because of its height - it was the tallest I could find on the high street.

Thanks for all your advice.....i'll take it all into account when choosing!

Sorry -- I have an aversion to ironing boards.

Anyone know where to get solid top ironing boards, I HATE those mesh type ones and thats all I seem able to find. Cheers.

I saw a nice one in Marks and Spencers for £9.50 yesterday. It looked good for the price - sturdy and not too small.
Also available online here (although don't forget postage!):

I think that most boards will have some holes in them as the majority of people use steam irons and the clothes would get really wet if the steam couldn't escape.
The only solid ones I've seen are those really cheap mdf type ones but not sure if you can get them now?
