Washer Dryer Stand - with built in detergent dispenser

[Andy Glass]

I filmed the build on my YouTube Channel. Please check it out! http://youtu.be/qDOujXINlE0

Typical washer and dryers are lower to the ground. You can buy stands for each unit for around $150-250. I decided to build mine and incorporate stylish hardware, larger drawers, classy hutch, and a special detergent feature.


The build consists of MDF, Poplar face frames, brushed nickel hardware, full extension drawer slides, Oil based primer, and white paint.


Primary construction method was rabbits, glue, brad nails, conformat screws, pocket screws for the face frame.


If you have any more comments, questions or suggestions please leave them here or on YouTube.

Looks good. I'd have some concerns about durability. Let us know in a year, then 2, how it's holding up. Having a fully loaded washer and/or dryer doing the dance on MDF is likely to be hard on the joinery.

Thanks for commenting John,

These new machine s have very minimal shake to them. The bottom stand has 6 leveling feet and it is built like a rock. I will def keep you guys posted!

I like the idea of getting washer and dryer up off the floor. Is enclosing them going to be a problem in the long run? Nice job and looks good.
