Where can I buy a quality or high-quality sleeve board + pad + cover on the internet? Yes, I want to press my suits with it.

The board I've seen at the local big-box discount retailer looks ready to break in two weeks.

I got one today sold by the "Allary Corporation," made in China. $12.99 at a local fabric store.

I don't know how I ever lived without a sleeve board:

By the way, I don't recommend this one. It's a little flimsy and it emitted an overpowering "plastic" smell the first time I put steam to it, made me light-headed. But it seems to work okay otherwise.

Okay, if anything I said can be construed as approving or recommending that "Allary Corporation" sleeve board, please disregard. The thing literally broke in half after maybe 40 uses. I think the steam from the iron softened the glue holding the particleboard together.
