A two-piece, foldable ironing board is pivotally mounted at one end thereof for folding movement into and out of a cabinet, which is disposed to be mounted in a rectangular recess in the wall of a kitchen, or the like. The board is formed in two, separate sections which are hingedly connected together by a pair of double-acting hinges, which permit the two sections of the board to be folded between an operative position in which they lie in a substantially common, horizontal plane, or an inoperative position in which one section is folded back over the other. One section of the board is mounted for rotational movement about the axis of a lazy susan-type support, which is carried on the outer end of an ironing board support plate. The inner end of this support plate is pivotally connected to the side walls of the cabinet for swinging movement into and out of the cabinet between collapsed and erected positions, respectively, and also is adjustable vertically into several different positions in which it correspondenly supports the ironing board in one of several different vertical positions when the ironing board is in use.
