NEW WRINKLE ON IRONING BOARDS

A NEW IRONING BOARD from Seymour Housewares is a smooth solution to the problem of where to put that space eater.

Called the ReadyPress, the lightweight compact board slips over any standard door in less time than it takes an iron to heat, no tools required. It can be removed from the door just as quickly.

The item should appeal to wrinkle-resistant dorm and apartment dwellers and business people who spend a lot of time living out of suitcases. Travel with a ReadyPress, and you will no longer have to travel with a polyester wardrobe.

The foldaway board attaches to the door with cushion cups that prevent scratching. For safety's sake, it automatically locks into an upright storage position.

The ReadyPress retails for about $30 and is available at most major discount department stores, such as K-mart and Wal-Mart. ILLUSTRATION: Color photo
