Should I get a pedestal for washer & dryer
Comments (24)Considering the original date on this thread, I am sure that the original writer made up his or her mind about this a long time ago. Maybe others are considering the Pedestal issue. A few brands will offer two different sizes of pedestals. Bosch offered both 8" & 15" high ones on their Nexxt series, when we bought a couple of years ago. Because one of our users is just under 5' tall, we went with the 8" pedestals. This way the tops are not too high to be used for a folding surface. It is best to get the pedestals installed at the time of installation. They can be very tricky and difficult to install once the machines are in place. They are generally way over priced. However, I glad I got them, and have no complaints....See Moreinstalling a drain under 2 washers
Comments (4)Hi antsss, Thanks, Antsss for your helpful reply. Hmmmmm, I do want to be able to use the pedastal's drawer. Maybe I will not be able to build the tile curb. When you talked about an automatic shutoff, can you be more specific? The plumber did talk to me about a manual water shut-off near the washer, but I do like the idea of an automatic devise, as I don't see myself remembering to manually shut off the water.

Comments (13)pickle2 I have 4 drawers. Two have a 15"h drawer front on them, Two are internal drawers. You see them once you pull on the 15"h drawer front that hides them. They can be pulled open at the same time or not, depending on the clasp position. Dimensions: In one set (deep drawer and shallow internal drawer) the distances are 10.75"h and 3"h In another set (deep drawer + shallow internal drawer) the distances are 8.375"h and 4.75"h ; I've not had these drawers long enough yet to know if the spacing is right for my needs. I could screw the internal drawer higher or lower if I wanted more or less space in the deep drawer. How: I got standard Ikea cabinets. I removed the bottom plate of the Ikea cabinet cube. I put the cabinet feet under the side panels. I have thus created a larger volume. I got standard Ikea drawers (ie. Tandembox by Blum) I screwed the (Ikea Tandembox Blum drawer front) hardware onto 15"h fronts. Each drawer has a base that is about 1/2" thick; two drawer floors take up 1"h This leaves about 13.875" available for each combination of two drawers. In one of my two drawer sets I have a bit less height available because a steel support takes up some room at the top; it was installed to give additional support to my counter at the cut for the cooktop. You could do the same thing with 4 separate drawer fronts. I didn't do this because my entire kitchen looks like it has two drawers everywhere; this keeps the lines lined up, and it reduces the visual complexity. Behind the drawer front there is a lot happening: in another cabinet I have my kitchen sink and drain, which fit into this 14.25" height. hth -d p.s. My drawer fronts are a bit less than 15" (Askome doors turned sideways). This leaves a bit of space under the counter for fingers to grab the drawer front. No need for handles. The counter overhang is large enough to stop direct line of sight into the inside of the drawers....See MoreElevated washer/dryer with drain pan
