I had to go a little smaller on the base level because I didn't have enough clearance for the cabinets, so I went with 2x2 instead for the frame of the lower level. My helper drilled pocket holes for me to keep the lines as neat as possible. We went with a white color to match the shelving and cabinetry in the laundry room. Overall, it fit great and now we don't have to stoop over to get the laundry! Total materials cost less than half of what buying the OEM pedestals would have cost us, and we would have gotten less storage. Not bad for a first father/daughter project!
