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.

Well, how about you? Sure, an internal "grid" would be a different animal. Good job.

Some kitchen designers are doing just that.
