An ironing board is a flat, padded surface used for pressing clothes to remove wrinkles. It typically consists of a metal frame that can be adjusted to different heights and a cover made of heat-resistant fabric. The board provides a stable area for using a clothes iron, making the ironing process more efficient and comfortable. Ironing boards come in various sizes and designs, including tabletop models for small spaces and larger, freestanding versions. Some boards feature additional elements like built-in steam iron holders or storage for ironing supplies, enhancing their functionality and convenience for users.
