Laundry pedestals raise your washer, dryer, or both to make them easier to reach. In addition, most pedestals provide a bit of storage space for detergent, dryer sheets, bleach, or whatever else you choose. This keeps your laundry room organized and uncluttered. Some laundry pedestals even double as small-capacity washers, though these are more expensive than simple pedestals. Make sure to carefully measure the dimensions of your washer and dryer to find a pedestal that fits, as you need as close a match as possible. If you purchase pedestals for your washer and dryer, it’s best to find a matching set. Installing a pedestal is not easy, so carefully follow the instruction manual to set your pedestal up properly the first time.
