Worse case, the Washer "walks" a little till one "foot" drops off the edge, but then the Washer won't go any farther. The washer shouldn't need 4" for the hoses, but the Dryer would, unless you get the "side vent kit" if there's room to vent the dryer on the side. LG electric dryers can be vented either side, the gas dryer can't be vented out the right side.

Lowes. OK - they brought the units out, put them on the platform we made, we assumed they did what they're suppposed to do & left. We didn't stand there watching because we'd just moved into the house & had plenty to do elsewhere and, hey, how hard can it be? Later that day - excited to see the "bubble show" through that big, beautiful window - I attempted a load. NOTHING. Not to panic - it just was not plugged in. Also, while my husband had it pulled out to plug in, he found that the dryer vent was not attached to the dryer - the wall, yes - not the back of the dryer. Turns out there is sort of a "cone" where you attach to & the hose slid off. (Not sure how he fixed that) It's at this point that we realize that they did not leave us a manual for the washer. We call & they say they'll get us one. In the meantime, we go online to find out what else needs to be done - like LEVELING. My husband does that and finally we're good to go. The story is a lot longer because we have a BIG mix-up with the refrigerator but at some point in there we get the manual - but not before I have to call the store manager a couple of times with questions about error messages (we had a problem with some sediment causing E02 errors - now fixed) for him to look up. SO - in the end, we love the machines, Lowes tried their best to make things right - it was just a series of freaky problems that weren't their fault - and we are happy customers. OH - the platform works like a charm - no vibrations & the additional height is great! Good luck with yours - great design!

Hello Houzzers, hoping someone can provide info about this platform rocker that’s been in family for years. Family says ‘it’s old’. No labels, I’ve turned it totally upside down. Any ideas on origin, value, etc much appreciated. The seat straps are original and very stretched out, some wood was clearly added to reinforce it along the way. Appears to be dowels holding it together with the exception of screws added later. Thanks in advance.
