When I saw the photo of the pedestal up on the horses, I immediately thought the same thing, looks like a coffin.

But it doesn't look that way on the floor with a washer on it.
Great job of building that unit!

Awesome!

Nice work man!

no more horses .... the coffin disappeared

Great work ! It looks better than the original ones

BTW : I see a lot of "lift and drop action" not only *inside* the washer but expecially outside .... what's that ?!? The Miele Fitness ... hard weightlifting training system

Miele Weight

LOL! I thought I was going to die when me and the old man carried this thing up out of the basement. I look forward to the day this summer when I get to put it in it's home for GOOD and never move the heavy bastard again

It's a back wrecker for sure, but I love it. The dryer is not nearly as heavy and I can manuver that by myself easily. Sliding it in from the garage still in it's crate was cake! Washer? Not so much.

It looks great! I wish I was that handy in making things.

Hi Andrew. The pedestal looks great. I am sure that you put a lot of time and effort into it.

Thanks Ross - I ordered the pulls for it last night - now I just have to get motivated to go work in the basement! (Not easy) LOL

nice box

I made a pedestal for my first Miele out of large concrete blocks. I stuck them to the floor with silicone adhesive. I managed to find a great deal on the pedestals for the W1918 and the W1986 online. You are lucky your floor is so even that you can use that platform without any means of leveling it.
