A portable, compact ironing board is adapted for use in tight quarters, such as dorm rooms, motor homes, travel trailers, apartments, etc. A plurality of short legs or pegs extend downwardly from the rear portion of the board, with the rear set being positionally fixed relative to the board and the front set being adjustably affixed to the board to adjust the spacing between the front and rear sets of legs. These rearwardly disposed legs are adjusted to fit closely about a generally horizontal ledge or edge, such as a windowsill, countertop edge, etc. to secure the rear portion of the board. Preferably, the rearwardly disposed sets of legs comprise a fixed rear pair and an adjustable forward pair. The forward portion of the board is supported by a single telescoping leg which is extended to a suitable length and braced in some manner. The upper surface of the board is generally conventional, with a suitable pad and ironing surface installed thereover. The rearwardly disposed sets of legs or pegs are installed completely through the board, to provide a solid and secure installation. A fairing is placed over the ends of the legs or pegs on the upper surface of the board and beneath the cover, to provide a smooth and unbroken surface for ironing. The board stores easily in a space approximately three inches wide, due to the folding nature of the forward leg and the short rearwardly disposed legs or pegs.
