Awesome idea! Also like how how you fast forward through the cuts and attachments! Great job!

You made this easy to follow, very helpful, useful and an awesome DIY. Thank you so much!

This is a beautiful build - thanks for sharing it. I’m going to create something similar, but plan to add a (removable, though I haven’t decided how to make that work yet 😋) cabinet around/over the machines. I was initially going to just create a cabinet in order to a) have a counter, and have a basket storage storage next to it, but this is a better use of space, will feel better on my back, and will look much fancier. Really nice work!

Very nice, I was looking for exactly this. Now, to get to work! Question: how well does the cabinet enamel paint hold up to the baskets being put in and out of the cubby holes?

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

They haven't been used as much as I'd like, but still at least 4 baskets a week and they are holding up perfect with our plastic baskets

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

With a helping hand. Two of us picked it up. The washer is heavier so start with that one.

@rdharris23 Год назад

Have you noticed any noise difference from the washer and dryer being on this platform? I could see the vibration from the washer and dryer resonating with the wood and making them louder than when they are sitting on a concrete floor. Thanks.

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

There hasn't been any additional noise. Mine is not on concrete but I don't think that will make a difference.

@bobedenburn1313 Год назад

This is a great plan I made was proud of it but when we installed the units turned on the washer it went through the cycles when it got to spin it was out of balance it shook the whole stand so I was wondering if they should be separate just a thought

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

I have run countless loads and have never had that issue.

@bridgetbean79 4 месяца назад

Our machines are on the risers they came with now but shake soooo much. Would this help you think? Our machines are level and shipping bolts are removed. Either they’re not in the risers right, it’s because they’re on our second floor, or, they just are naturally violently shaky machines but I’m wondering if it’s worth us trying to build a solid shelf for them haha

@mohamadalihassanein1697 Год назад

very nice job, but will it hold the washer and drier wight, and will the washer stick in place due to vibration while spinning fast

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

It has held up beautifully. I am not sure what you mean by stick in place. I have had to move the washer because something fell behind and it worked as expected.

@martik778 Год назад

I noticed the commercial ones have brackets on top. Has yours been stable enough without them?

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

They are as stable as putting them on the ground. If the washer gets a bit off balanced you hear some rattle and have a bit of movement, but like I said, no different than on the ground.

@kingthree193 Год назад

I am new to woodworking this actually the 1st thing i am building for my mom. Can you confirm how many sheets of plywood and mdf you used. Looking at the plans from the link its states 1 sheet of 3/4 4x8, 1/4 ply or mdf 4x4, and 1/2 2x4 Just confused on if i can't do math or if one sheet of 1/4 4x4 makes the 4 sides and drawer front panel or if its a mistype on the plans. Same for the 3/4 top and shelf bottoms. It appears you used 2 separate sheets for the this in the video.

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

There are three thickness differences in the plywood. So you will need three separate sheets. The sizes listed are the smallest sizes you can easily purchase. I buy full sheets of plywood typically because the value is so much greater and then use the excess in future projects. If you are just starting out chances are mistakes will be made and having extra wood will be helpful too :)

@jonboysprowash7845 Год назад

Great looking build. Once you have the machines up do you attach them anyway to the pedestal?

So i built this but raised it to a total of 30 inches high. The platform is pretty sturdy but had a little rock to it. I wasn't sure if you had any idea on extra support to keep it from rocking.

Securing it to the wall could help if it is open on one or both sides.

How easily can the unit be serviced (When needed)?

@HousefulofHandmade Год назад

I am not sure what you mean. If you mean the washer and dryer, its as easy to service as it is to get it into place. You will most likely have to take the machines down to have them serviced.

Ok. I built this. Follow all the instruction. I hate this base. First of all, u mentioned at the end thay u just made a hole in the back for the vent. That sounded so easy. No!!!! The stand is exacyly for the washer and dryer, there is no extra room. So I dont know where u just made a hole and thats it. I had to put extra support o bc the hole was in the frame. Secobd problem. My washer moves and I am afraod it will fall anytime. The weight of both washer and dryer are too much for this. I am taking it out and throw it in the garbage once I figure how to bring everything down.

@bw162 4 месяца назад

Very impractical. MDW and moisture is not a good combo. And if you ever tried to move just the washer in order to do the necessary cleaning behind it, replace a vent or water hose or do anything else, try doing it when you have to move one platform with both machines on top. No appliance service person would attempt to work on the equipment in this config.

$20,000 of woodworking equipment not included In other news - pedestals made specifically for your washer are about 200 dollars, and they install them.
