We moved into our 1705 home and the washer and dryer were in the middle of a space we walked through all of the time to get to our family room. This unit allowed us to tuck the washer and dryer into a corner and make the space beautiful. We are having a cabinet built to surround it.  Now the space look terrific and by the way it does a wonderful job on doing laundry too!  Here are before and after pics
