A combined trouser press and ironing board assembly is disclosed. It comprises a heatable pad (14) against which a surface of a pressure plate (4) is clampable in a first position to sandwich a garment to be pressed therebetween. The pressure plate (4) is mounted by means which allow said plate (4) to be moved relative to the heatable pad (14) into a second ironing position in which the pressure plate (4) extends laterally outwardly relative to the heatable pad (14) so that the surface thereof which was facing the heatable pad (14) in its first position now provides the surface on which a garment can be placed for ironing.
