What is an "ironing board"?

An ironing board is a padded, flat surface on a stand, which is used to iron clothes, linens, or other fabrics. It is designed to provide a stable and smooth surface for ironing and is often made of heat-resistant material. Ironing boards are usually adjustable in height and have a metal frame with a mesh or solid surface. They may also include additional features such as storage for the iron and ironing board cover, and a built-in electrical outlet for ironing convenience. Ironing boards come in various sizes and shapes, including tabletop, wall-mounted, and free-standing models, and can be used with a variety of irons, including steam and dry irons.
