We had to shorten the length to 57" for this project to fit our space of 60", due to baseboards and shoe molding. It was just a few inches too large to fit through our doorway, which we also could have adjusted if we'd have thought ahead! I was worried that the 3 small baskets wouldn't fit with our plan but they fit perfectly, Especially if you push them back from the edge a bit.
Overall cost was around $120, the screws were around $20 b/c you have to get a box each of 2" and 3" length. We weren't able to get any "untreated" 4x4's at our Lowe's so we opted for the 2x4's sandwiched together- worked just fine.
Due to such a tight space, we only faced the front of the pedestal with the plywood, but I would have liked to do the whole thing- it would've made the molding much easier to square up!
I'm a much happier Homemaker with this in place! No more moving baskets around to open the dryer door! Thanks so much for sharing this with us, now onto the loft bed!
