My wife and I were debating on whether to spend the extra money for the storage drawers. At the last minute we decided to splurge and add them to our order and we are so happy we did!! These drawers are fantastic and I highly recommend them! They raise your washer and dryer to the proper height so you aren't constantly bending over to load and unload your laundry. But our favorite part of all is the extra storage they provide. You can easily store all your cleaning materials in the drawers and are a must-have in my opinion!
