Has anyone ever made a pedestal for their dryer?
I've been thinking about making one for my dryer. I found this link, but I'm unsure. I think I would like to make it a little higher so there is absolutely no stooping, just reach in and grab, but I wonder how that would change things? I'm not exactly handy this way.

n- when i bought my latest ones ( my washer died and next day my dryer did - they were both bought second hand and well over 15 years old ) i bought my first new washer dryer that was actually a matching set in 20 years of marraige LOL
so i splurged and
i bought the pedestals with them - i love them - they have drawers and one i keep the beach/ pool towels and in another i keep socks- i dont have the time to sort and match socks so they just go in the bin after washing and people grab a pair as they need to - i cant imagine having to bend down .
only issue i would see was making sure they were secured to each other so they didnt travel ( esp the washer when spinning something heavy like towels - off the base or if the base could be stronge hold them well enough for long term .Last edited by Momto5RN; 10-08-2010 at 09:34 PM.

I just need one for my dryer, not my washer. My washer is a top loader. I don't "think" I need to worry about my dryer rocking off (?)
I just want to be sure before I set up an envelope to save for this and then measure and purchase materials, and try to put it together. It's a lot of money to waste if it's a bad design. It seems simple enough, and simple is what this less then handy gal needs.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

how much do you think it would cost ??
would it be that much more to buy the actual one that goes with the dryer- or a generic one that would fit ?*~Debbi~*

The least expensive one I could find was $139 before shipping. To make one would be around $50.
