I already have (and hate) a small-sized wall-attached ironing board:

It doesn't work well because the attached end is actually needed to
properly iron the front and especially the back of a men's cotton
dress shirt.

I bought (from Costco) a large-sized free-standing ironing board:

It doesn't work well because the end that is actually needed to
properly iron the front and especially the back of a men's cotton
dress shirt is ruined by the presence of a 'shelf' for the iron.

WHAT AM I MISSING?
If you iron, answer me this please ...

Is it just me or does the wall mounted on look like it has a swivel
base mounted on it?
Pull it down and see if it does. If does, yougot both ends
