Ironing Board

My current ironing board has decided that now and again it will collapse at random. The parts are well worn and past fixing so I'm looking for a new ironing board.

I've looked at some on Amazon and didn't realise how expensive they had become.
I need it to hold a steam generator iron.

This one is in Dunelm and is half the price of some of the Brabantia boards. It has a shelf to hold ironed items and a big enough stand for the steam generator iron.

I'd like to pay as little as possible but don't want to buy cheap and buy twice. Also some cheaper ones have poor padding and it means buying another quality cover to get a decent ironed finish.
The above link is priced at £39.99. Others go up to over £100.

Has anyone recently bought a new ironing board that they are really pleased with.

Maybe some of you wear different material or use a different wash setting because I certainly don’t walk around in wrinkled clothes Annep I wouldn’t like that either
