I used the space in between the washer and dryer to hold my cat's litter stuff. It has always looked kind of awkward and ugly, and I wanted something that was tall enough that could hide the litter genie and litter, but also give me a little more storage space and room for decor.
I first took my measurements and figured I needed the table to be:
10" wide, 24" long, 34" tall
Have a question about this project?
What happens to the table and dryer when the wash machine gets unbalanced and bangs the table side to side between them?
Reply to Suz48731922,
Years ago when all automatic washers were top loading only, they did tend to get 'out of balance'.
This was because the drum was constantly spinning at high rpms. This centrifugal force pulled against the legs of the machine, causing them to loosen and become uneven. You would know this was happening when you heard the sound of the washing machine banging when on the spin cycle. The legs would need to be levelled again with each other and re-tightened in position.(see picture below) This would not be easy to do if the appliance was sitting on a floor that was not even to start with.
Modern top loading automatic washing machines now come with a stabilizers to help prevent the legs being subject to the force of the drum spinning. The drums in front loading machines are mounted horizontally, and they do not spin (or agitate) around a centre post.
the water might make the wood rot and the corners rust eventually , try giving it an extra coat of paint just in case.
i love your project
Water? I don’t ever have any leaking, and if I do then I’ll let maintenance know! Haha so I don’t think that should be an issue. :) thank you though!
What is the item holding the "Clean" sign? It looks like a vintage toilet paper holder. I need one of those to sit by my dishwasher!
Nice job on the storage table, and your laundry room is so nice a neat! It makes you want to do laundry, right!?
