This humorous home accessory is called the 'Ironman Ironing Board.' He may not be like the superhero, but boy this guy can withstand heat! Sold through Lazybone UK, the comical clothes-pressing surface is actually quite genius.
The firm surface is perfect for smoothing creases in clothing, and the legs of the 'ironman' will help you remove wrinkles from pant legs; something that regular ironing boards fail to facilitate. Sold in a variety of colors including the American flag and the Union Jack, the 'Ironman Ironing Board' is one handy housemate who may not pay rent, but he helps with household chores!
