BTW, to those reading this, if one were to make a pedestal for a front load washer out of the materials used here for the dryer, it will shake it apart in a week. Perfect for dryers.
With a little engineering you could have made some storage space down under. Much needed around here.

Glad you did not tell me that 5 years ago when I built mine from melamine covered chip wood. Mine is still holding up just fine and the washer gets daily use. I used to build a lot of kitchen cabinet cases and the like. I used 3/4 material with an internal grid of the same material and put it together with biscuits. No fastners showing two 4X8 sheets, some biscuits some wood glue and iron on edging.
Modern household front loaders don't have much low frequency vibration compared to a top loader. I used to service big commercial front load washers. 50 and 75 pounders. They would shake almost anything apart unless mounted right. I used to build the frames from 3/8 steel H beam and fill it with concrete to help dampen the vibration.
