Laundry Basket Dresser

About This Project

Anything to make Laundry easier and looks good I will build.  This is a very simple project that is invaluable to anyone that does laundry.  We have it in our master bath to help with separating our laundry. It is sturdy, functional and is a nice looking piece.  The only changes I made was to use 2x2's for the rails instead of the metal L-brackets. 

From Plan (new): 
Estimated Cost: 
$30
Estimated Time Investment: 
An Hour or Two (0-2 Hours)
Required Skill Level: 
Beginner
Type of Wood: 
MDF, Plywood and Pine boards
Finish Used: 
After a good sanding I primed it with Kilz oderless spray primer. Then painted it with some left over Trim Paint we had for our house. Finished it off with two coats of poly in a Satin finish.

Laundry Basket Dresser

What a fantastic job! I need one of these for my laundry. Do you forsee the baskets starting to sway or weaken on the ends? This is such a great idea and it looks really nice with the wicker next to it...

Dimensions

I would love to make this...is there any way you could post the dimension of it? I mean, I know the width depends on the baskets, but how tall did you make it to accomodate three of them? Thanks!

If you get the wood from Home Depot and bring in the plans they will cut it for you!

MDF

MDF has its advantages - flat , smooth, somewhat strong. However prep the edges by applying vinyl spackling (let dry and sand) to help prevent moisture getting into the MDF and prime and sand really well. I have had issues with paint not adhering to the MDF if the surface was not prepared properly. Prime even if the paint says it contains primer.
