Browse Forums Laundry 1 Mar 18, 2012 8:33 pm Hi Everyone, I'm looking at renovating my laundry and it'll be the first time I've had a go at installing cabinets. My laundry is tiny, I have just over 1.5m to work with. My design is basically (left to right): 500mm width floor cabinet with sink/trough 640mm width space for underbench washing machine space for end panel 290mm width broom cabinet I will also have a wall cabinet against the broom cabinet. What I'm not sure about is what else I may need for the benchtop to sit on. Currently, it will only have the one 500mm floor cabinet to sit on. After that, it is just empty space, so I am thinking I will need some sort of cabinet carcass for where my washing machine will go so that the benchtop will have something to sit on top of over that 640mm space. Or can I just hang some brackets off the broom cabinet and back wall for the benchtop? I would love some advice on this. Thanks. Benchtop over washing machine 2Mar 19, 2012 6:14 am You can run a strip of wood across the wall at the back and the benchtop can sit on it. That plus the cabinetry should support it - check with your cabinet maker. Some things are worth waiting for.

You must have support along the front of the bench. Just a strip of wood or brackets at the back and each end will not be enough. The bench will sag over time.
