Ironing Board : What is it?

Ironingboards1

An ironing board consists of a flat board, covered with an ironing board cover. The clothes are laid out flat on the board so that the wrinkles are ironed out efficiently.  Most ironing boards consist of a flat metal plate that narrows at one end. The narrow end is used for ironing shirt sleeves and pant legs. It has holes for ventilation and a padding covered with a smooth, thick, and heat-resistant cloth. It has a metal grill on one end where the hot iron can be placed. It stands on legs or fold down from a wall depending on the type and design.
