These are sufficiently deeper than the last set that we had to take the little folding doors off the laundry alcove.
Now, the top surface of the washing machine (we have front loaders) fills inevitably with cleaning supplies, lint, random things extracted from pockets before washing, etc. It is known.
But we were clever! CLEVER LIKE WEASELS! We sprang for the pedestal drawer things! That way we could stick the random cleaning supplies in the drawers! Genius, right?

It plays a little song when the laundry is finished. I am trying to figure out if Kevin can teach it to play “Thus Spake Zarathustra.” I expect to find the cats worshipping it someday.
There may be a moral here about measuring the dimensions in advance, but I do not know what it is.
