How High Should a Washer Pedestal Be? A Practical Guide to Reach, Clearance, and Fit

How high should a washer pedestal be? There is no universal best height. The right pedestal raises a compatible front-load washer enough to improve your personal reach while preserving control access, door swing, detergent access, hoses, drain routing, ventilation, overhead clearance, floor stability, and the appliance manufacturer’s installation requirements. Measure the finished setup, not just the empty space or pedestal.

This guide explains how to choose washer pedestal height through a full-room fit check rather than a single dimension. It also examines the current NIUXX W618-2 adjustable appliance pedestal. Its Shopify record lists an approximately 20 cm lift, a 46–70 cm support range, ten straight-line casters with individual brakes, and a merchant-stated maximum load of 400 kg.

Start with the finished operating height

The useful number is the height of the washer door, drum opening, detergent dispenser, controls, and top surface after installation. A pedestal height alone does not tell you where those features will land because washers vary. Add the listed pedestal height to the washer’s own measured dimensions, then verify each point that you touch during a normal load.

Measure from the finished floor to the bottom and center of the door opening. Measure to the detergent drawer handle, cycle controls, and the highest point of the open lid or service panel if the appliance has one. Repeat with the pedestal included. A comfortable door position can still create a control panel that is too high or a dispenser that collides with a countertop.

Do not choose from an average person’s height. Test the setup for everyone who regularly does laundry, including a shorter adult, a seated user, or someone with limited shoulder, back, hip, hand, or balance capacity. A cardboard mark on the wall can represent the future door center and control height before any heavy equipment is moved.

Maytag’s current pedestal guide recommends measuring the washer or dryer and the installation space, then matching pedestal size and checking other clearance needs. Its examples are brand-specific, but the planning principle is widely useful: confirm the complete installed envelope. A pedestal marketed as ergonomic is not automatically comfortable for a particular person or room.

• Washer height from floor to controls and top surface.
• Door-opening bottom, center, and top heights.
• Detergent dispenser height and full pull-out path.
• Pedestal’s actual installed height, including adjusted feet or casters.
• Overhead shelf, cabinet, counter, faucet, and door clearance.
• Reach and visibility for every regular user.

Record measurements in one sketch. Use the same reference floor point and note whether the floor slopes. Do not mix product dimensions with support-range dimensions. The W618-2 record, for example, lists an approximately 20 cm height and a 46–70 cm support range; those values describe different parts of the fit decision.

Decide what problem the pedestal should solve

A pedestal is most useful when it solves a defined problem without adding a larger one. Common goals include reducing repeated low bending, bringing the drum opening closer to a comfortable reach, creating space beneath the appliance, or allowing a disconnected machine to be repositioned for floor cleaning. Rank those goals before comparing products.

If bending is the concern, observe the whole laundry motion. You may bend to a low drum, but you may also lift a wet bundle from a deep basket on the floor, twist toward a dryer, reach across an open door, or carry supplies from a high shelf. Raising only the washer can help one movement while leaving the rest of the workflow unchanged.

OSHA’s workplace laundry guidance identifies repeated bending, excessive reaching, lifting wet laundry, and awkward postures as ergonomic risk factors. A home laundry room is not an industrial workplace, and this article does not convert OSHA guidance into a medical promise. The useful idea is to redesign the whole task so loads stay close and repeated extreme reaches are reduced.

Try a no-cost workflow test first. Place the empty basket at the height where it will normally sit, open the washer door, and simulate moving a dry towel from basket to drum. Check whether your knees, hips, back, shoulders, and hands stay comfortable. Repeat with the proposed pedestal height marked on the wall.

If the goal is storage, verify that the exact product actually provides the usable compartment shown in its current manual and delivered package. The W618-2 Shopify title and text mention a drawer, but the seven current product images reviewed for this article do not clearly show an integrated pull-out drawer. Confirm the current configuration rather than assuming the title resolves that visual inconsistency.

Measure the washer at its support points

Compatibility is determined where the appliance transfers weight, not only by the outer cabinet width. Measure the front-to-back and side-to-side distances at the feet or manufacturer-approved support locations. Decorative panels, rounded corners, toe kicks, and door projections are not support points. Compare both support dimensions with the pedestal’s documented range.

The authoritative W618-2 record lists an adjustable support range of 46–70 cm. Another legacy media label mentions 42–70 cm, creating a source inconsistency. This article uses the current authoritative 46–70 cm value and advises buyers to verify the label and manual supplied with the exact item before purchase or installation.

A measurement that falls inside the range does not prove compatibility. The washer manufacturer must permit use of this type of third-party adjustable base. Some manufacturer pedestals attach through model-specific brackets, clips, bolts, or holes. LG and Whirlpool installation guidance shows that compatible pedestal systems are mechanically secured and leveled according to the exact appliance and pedestal design.

Check whether the washer feet must stay installed, be removed, or engage a specific pad. Do not make that choice from a generic video. A support panel must contact a structurally appropriate location, and every adjustable connection must be locked as directed. An uneven or partial contact can change how the cabinet and internal suspension carry loads.

1. Find the washer model number and exact installation manual.
2. Identify approved pedestal or riser options and attachment requirements.
3. Measure the appliance where it will actually contact the base.
4. Compare both directions with the documented support range.
5. Confirm feet, pads, brackets, fasteners, and locking instructions.
6. Reject any setup that relies on trim, unsupported sheet metal, or guesswork.

Take photographs of the underside only when the manufacturer’s procedure allows safe access. Never tip or crawl beneath a washer to inspect it alone. Appliances are heavy and can shift. Whirlpool’s leveling guidance warns that two or more people should move and install a washer; use qualified help and the correct lifting equipment for the specific machine.

Check door swing and loading clearance

Raising the washer changes how the open door occupies the room. Measure the door’s maximum projection from the cabinet and trace its swing at the proposed height. Check nearby walls, cabinets, laundry-room doors, hampers, toilet fixtures, water heaters, and walking paths. A door that clears at floor level can meet a projecting countertop or shelf after the washer is raised.

Front-loading often requires space for your body and basket in front of the appliance. Maytag’s planning guide suggests accounting for working space in front as well as side and rear clearance, while noting that exact needs vary. Use the washer manual and the real room. A narrow passage may need the basket beside the machine rather than directly behind you.

Check hinge side and transfer direction. If the dryer is adjacent, an inconvenient pair of door swings can force the user to reach around doors or lift wet laundry over them. Some models allow door reversal and others do not. Confirm the manufacturer’s procedure; never move hinges or latches simply because the door looks reversible.

The pedestal itself may project at the front, rear, or sides. Include handles, casters, locking levers, adjustable rails, and any drawer front in the footprint. Maytag notes that pedestal dimensions may or may not include a drawer front or handle. For W618-2, confirm the exact delivered assembly because the current media does not clearly establish the drawer configuration.

Finish with an escape and service check. The open appliance door must not block the only exit from a small room, and the installed height must still allow technicians to reach panels and shutoffs. Leave enough clearance to see leaks and clean the floor instead of building a tight cavity around the machine.

Protect control and dispenser access

A higher drum can feel easier while the controls become harder to see. Stand and sit at the proposed position. Check whether display contrast, button labels, and status lights remain visible without leaning backward or raising the shoulder. If controls are angled upward, a 20 cm lift can change the sightline more than the tape measure suggests.

Pull the detergent dispenser fully open in the simulated layout. It must clear countertops, shelves, faucets, hanging rods, and cabinet doors. Confirm that you can add detergent without lifting a heavy bottle above shoulder level or pouring at an awkward angle. A smaller working bottle on a nearby shelf may improve the task more than additional pedestal height.

Do not place frequently used chemicals in a location that children can reach or where a leaking container can drip onto the washer’s controls, plug, or hoses. Follow detergent packaging requirements. Keep products in their original labeled containers, secured appropriately, and never use the top of a vibrating appliance as permanent storage.

If accessibility is a formal requirement, use the applicable accessibility standard and a qualified designer. The 2010 ADA Standards specify reach ranges for accessible elements and include particular laundry-equipment provisions, but they are not a universal prescription for every private home or every disability. A pedestal can improve one reach and violate another.

A seated user also needs clear floor space, knee and toe positioning, door access, and a transfer path for laundry. Raising a washer without planning those relationships can push the drum farther away. Mock up the complete body position and consult an occupational therapist or accessibility professional when an individual’s mobility needs are central to the project.

Verify overhead and side clearances

Add the washer’s actual height to the pedestal’s installed height, then compare the result with the lowest overhead obstruction. Include the washer top, control backsplash, open detergent lid, hoses that rise above the cabinet, and any required service space. Do not count an empty gap as usable if a cabinet door or shelf edge crosses it.

Side clearance matters because a washer moves during spin and needs airflow and service access according to its manual. The pedestal should not bring the cabinet into contact with a wall, dryer, sink, or shelf. A base wider than the washer can also narrow a walkway or prevent two appliances from sitting at their required separation.

Rear clearance is not leftover space. Fill hoses, drain hose, power cord, shutoff valves, standpipe, venting for an adjacent dryer, and anti-flood devices all occupy it. Raising the washer changes the vertical path to those connections. Hoses must not kink, stretch, rub a sharp edge, or pull on the valve when the appliance is moved.

For a closet installation, check the washer manual for door openings, louvers, ventilation, and service clearances. A taller machine may interfere with a shelf that also keeps supplies away from children. Moving the shelf upward can make daily supplies unreachable. Treat shelving, appliance height, and room ventilation as one layout decision.

• Top of appliance and open dispenser versus shelf or cabinet.
• Washer sides versus walls, dryer, sink, and required spacing.
• Rear hoses, cord, valves, standpipe, and service access.
• Front door swing, basket position, and walking route.
• Base projections, brake levers, feet, and possible drawer travel.
• Access to shutoffs, outlet, drain, filter, and model label.

Mark the finished footprint with removable tape only if the floor manufacturer permits it. Place an empty box or cardboard outline at the proposed top height. Open nearby cabinet and room doors. This simple mock-up exposes collisions before a heavy washer is lifted onto a base.

Plan hoses, drainage, and power

Raising a washer increases the distance from its connections. Do not assume existing fill hoses, drain hose, or cord have enough slack. The washer manual defines permissible routing and drain height. An extension, adapter, or longer hose must be approved for the exact model and installed without leaks, siphoning, abrasion, or strain.

Keep hot and cold shutoff valves reachable. You should not need to climb over the washer or remove the base to turn off water. If the machine can roll, movement must not tug hoses or the cord. The current W618-2 record says a stopped and disconnected appliance may be repositioned for floor cleaning; it does not authorize rolling a connected or running washer.

The drain hose must remain secured at the correct height and insertion depth. Whirlpool’s front-load installation checklist emphasizes correct drain-hose installation, connected fill hoses, power, shipping-bolt removal, and leveling. Those model-specific checks matter after adding a base because the original installation geometry has changed.

Plug the washer into the power supply required by its manual. Do not use an extension cord to compensate for greater height or movement. Keep plugs, outlets, connections, and cords away from water. An electrician should evaluate any outlet relocation or damaged receptacle; a pedestal is not a reason to improvise household wiring.

Before normal use, run only the manufacturer’s prescribed installation test or empty cycle. Watch every connection and the drain. Check behind and beneath the washer with a light, without reaching under a moving machine. Stop at the first leak, hose movement, drain backup, unusual sound, or electrical problem.

Evaluate the floor before adding height

The floor must be solid, level, dry, and suitable for the combined washer, water, laundry, and base load. A pedestal concentrates force through its feet or casters, which can differ from the washer’s original contact pattern. Tile, resilient flooring, wood, laminate, concrete, and floating floors can respond differently to concentrated and moving loads.

Follow the flooring manufacturer’s instructions for heavy appliances and rolling loads. A merchant load number is not a floor rating. The W618-2 listing states a maximum load of 400 kg, but this article treats that value as a merchant claim, not independent certification and not permission to approach it on every floor.

Inspect for cracked tile, loose boards, soft subfloor, uneven grout, curled seams, moisture, slope, and debris. Casters can stop at a small transition or place point loads on a tile edge. Do not level a base with loose cardboard, wood scraps, folded mats, or stacked pads unless the exact installation instructions and floor system permit a designed shim.

Remove rugs and soft mats from beneath the base. They can compress, creep, hide water, or interfere with brakes and feet. A mat placed in front for comfort must not block the appliance door, drawer, or casters and must not create a trip edge. Check it during spin to ensure it cannot migrate under the assembly.

If the floor flexes, the washer moves despite correct setup, or the room is on an upper story with uncertain structure, seek professional assessment. Do not assume more brakes or a higher capacity label solves structural movement. The washer’s suspension, base, floor, and load balance all affect observed vibration.

Understand wheels, brakes, and operating stability

The current W618-2 record lists ten straight-line casters with individual brakes. Straight-line casters differ from swivel casters: they may guide movement along one axis, while turns can require repositioning. Product media depicts small blue and black wheel or brake components beneath the corner assemblies. Verify their exact operation in the supplied manual.

Wheels are for controlled repositioning only under allowed conditions. Stop the appliance, disconnect water and power as required, empty it, clear the route, release brakes in the specified sequence, and use enough capable help. Never roll a washer while it is filling, washing, draining, or spinning, and never rely on connected hoses to limit travel.

Every brake must be fully engaged before operation if the manual requires it. A visible lever position is not enough if the caster still turns or the frame rocks. Inspect each corner, then test the assembly gently from safe hand positions. Do not place fingers or feet beneath the washer, base, rails, or wheels.

A brake prevents intended wheel rotation; it does not automatically level the frame or secure the appliance to the base. Confirm all adjustable rails, corner supports, pads, fasteners, and washer contacts. If the exact product includes both wheels and feet, follow the documented sequence for lowering, leveling, and locking them.

Keep the travel route hard, level, dry, and clear. Thresholds, slopes, carpet, cords, grout gaps, and floor transitions can abruptly stop small wheels and shift a heavy appliance. If floor cleaning requires crossing any difficult surface, leave the washer in place and use a cleaning method that does not require risky movement.

Compare pedestal types before choosing

Pedestals solve different problems. A manufacturer-matched pedestal usually has explicit compatible models and engineered attachment hardware. A fixed platform can offer a custom height but needs structural and moisture-resistant design. An adjustable mobile base offers range and repositioning but adds locks, wheels, and adjustable joints to inspect.

The most feature-rich option is not necessarily the best. A wheeled base can improve access but requires more inspection than a fixed installation. A tall pedestal can reduce low bending but raise controls or collide with shelving. A matched pedestal may cost more but provide clearer compatibility. Choose against the measured problem and complete constraints.

Review the current NIUXX W618-2 listing

The current NIUXX Shopify record identifies W618-2 as a 20 cm adjustable appliance pedestal intended for compatible washing machines, dryers, refrigerators, and similar floor-standing appliances. It lists a 46–70 cm support range, an industrial-grade steel frame, high-density polymer panels, non-slip support panels, ten straight-line casters with individual brakes, and a merchant-stated maximum load of 400 kg.

The product record also describes an integrated pull-out drawer. However, the seven active product images visually reviewed for this article do not clearly show that drawer. Several images show open frame space beneath an appliance, and one legacy ALT incorrectly describes a two-tier washer-and-dryer arrangement. Buyers should confirm the current delivered configuration and not rely on inaccurate media labels.

The approximately 20 cm height is a planning input, not a promise of ergonomic benefit. Add it to the actual washer dimensions and mock up the controls, dispenser, and door. The 46–70 cm range must be checked at manufacturer-approved support points. The 400 kg listing value is neither a recommended target nor independent evidence for a particular appliance, floor, caster, or installation.

The product is not described here as universally compatible, vibration-proof, floor-protective, injury-preventing, or safe while moving. Price and inventory can change, so neither appears in the article’s decision advice. The current record excludes support dimensions outside the listed range, uneven or sloped floors, loads beyond the listing, and moving a connected or running appliance.

If your washer manufacturer permits an adjustable third-party base and your measurements fit, compare the supplied W618-2 manual with the product page. Resolve the drawer and range inconsistencies before purchase. A screenshot of the current listing and written support reply can help document which version and included parts you expect.

Prepare for installation without improvising

Installation begins with the washer manual, pedestal manual, tools, and enough capable people. Turn off water and power according to the appliance instructions. Drain residual water using the documented procedure. Protect the floor with a stable system appropriate to the surface, but do not create a slippery or compressible layer beneath the final base.

Never lift a washer by its door, control panel, detergent drawer, hoses, sheet-metal edge, or shipping hardware. Use manufacturer-approved handling points and equipment. A moving strap, appliance dolly, or lift must be appropriate to the machine and route. Stairs, tight turns, and elevated platforms may require professional installers.

Assemble the empty W618-2 completely before placing an appliance on it. Adjust both dimensions evenly, lock every rail connection, install pads and casters in the specified locations, and confirm that the frame is square. Do not substitute fasteners or omit a brace because the outer dimensions already look correct.

Position the washer centrally on documented support points. Confirm equal contact, attachment, and edge clearance. Then set the final height or wheel position and immobilize the base according to the manual. Use a level front-to-back and side-to-side on the washer, not only the empty frame.

1. Confirm exact washer approval and W618-2 instructions.
2. Shut off, unplug, drain, and disconnect utilities as required.
3. Inspect the floor and clear the full handling route.
4. Assemble, square, adjust, and lock the empty base.
5. Use enough people and approved handling equipment to lift the washer.
6. Center the washer at appropriate support points and secure it as documented.
7. Level and immobilize the complete assembly.
8. Reconnect hoses, drain, and power without tension or kinks.
9. Run the manufacturer’s installation check while watching for leaks and movement.

Stop if the frame flexes, rails slip, pads do not align, a wheel will not lock, the washer rocks, or a support point lands outside its intended pad. Do not fill gaps with loose material or continue because the empty washer appears stable. Dynamic spin forces can expose a problem that a static push does not.

Level and immobilize before every operation

A washer must be level and supported at all intended points. Whirlpool and LG both emphasize solid, level installation for their compatible pedestal systems. Their hardware differs from W618-2, so their steps should not be copied directly, but the principle is relevant: the appliance, pedestal, and floor operate as one assembly.

Place a suitable level on the top surface in both directions, following the washer manual. Check for diagonal rocking from safe hand positions. Adjust only the components identified in the W618-2 instructions, then tighten locks or nuts. Recheck after the first permitted test cycle and after any movement.

Balance the laundry load according to the washer manual. A pedestal cannot correct a single heavy item, tangled load, shipping bolts left installed, worn suspension, weak floor, or incorrect appliance leveling. If vibration remains excessive, stop and diagnose the appliance and installation rather than adding pads or tightening random components.

Inspect all caster brakes and confirm the assembly cannot roll. If the design uses a separate stationary foot, verify that it carries the load as intended. Do not rely on wall contact, hoses, the drain pipe, a cabinet, or another appliance to stop movement.

Repeat checks after cleaning beneath the appliance, changing floor coverings, a service visit, a leak, relocation, or an unusually unbalanced load. Small changes in rail position, brake engagement, hose routing, or floor debris can affect the finished installation.

Store supplies without creating new hazards

First confirm whether the current W618-2 version actually includes the listed drawer and obtain its load and clearance limits. The active media does not visibly verify one. Do not place a freestanding bin into open frame space unless the manual permits it; an improvised container can interfere with rails, wheels, drainage, or ventilation.

If a drawer is confirmed, open it fully in the measured layout. Check the washer door, room door, basket, feet, and walkway. Store only items allowed by the product and household-safety instructions. Heavy containers at the front can affect handling, while leaking detergent can reach casters, flooring, or electrical areas.

Keep detergent and laundry products in original containers with labels intact and secured from children and pets. Do not store fuel, solvent, oily rags, aerosol cans, or heat-sensitive products beneath an appliance. Follow the safety statements on each product rather than treating a closed drawer as universal safe storage.

Clean spills promptly using methods suitable for the floor, base, and detergent. Inspect beneath the washer for hidden moisture. A raised appliance can make some leaks easier to see, but open frame space can also let water travel farther before it is noticed.

Do not overload or use a drawer as a step, seat, handle, or leverage point for moving the appliance. Keep its travel smooth and close it before operation. If it rubs, tilts, opens during spin, or interferes with a brake, stop using it and correct the installation.

Know when a pedestal is the wrong choice

Skip the pedestal when the washer manufacturer does not permit it, support points do not fit, the floor is weak or uneven, overhead clearance is insufficient, hoses would be stretched, controls become unreachable, or the room cannot provide safe service access. A product feature cannot override any one of those failures.

A top-load washer usually needs unobstructed lid clearance and has different support geometry. Do not place it on a base merely because the cabinet width fits. Likewise, refrigerators, dryers, and other appliances have different ventilation, stability, fuel, drainage, and anchoring requirements. W618-2’s broad category language is not model-specific approval.

Do not use a mobile base for stairs, ramps, sloped floors, thick carpet, damaged tile, or regular appliance transport. It is not a stair-climbing dolly or installation jack. If moving the washer requires crossing a threshold or turning in a narrow room, hire appropriate help or leave the machine in place.

Choose no pedestal when the current washer height already suits the users. A raised basket, side-opening hamper, nearby work surface, or revised transfer direction may reduce bending without changing appliance stability. The simplest successful solution is often easier to maintain.

For a user with pain, reduced balance, wheelchair access, or a recent change in mobility, seek individual guidance. An occupational therapist can evaluate the complete task. A pedestal may help, but it is not a medical device and this article does not promise reduced pain or injury prevention.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best washer pedestal height?

There is no universal best height. Add the pedestal height to your washer’s actual dimensions, then mock up the door opening, controls, dispenser, top, overhead clearance, and utility routes. Test the reach for each regular user. Choose only a pedestal approved for the appliance and stable on the floor.

Is a 20 cm washer pedestal high enough?

A 20 cm lift can materially change drum and control height, but whether it is enough depends on the washer and user. W618-2 is listed at approximately 20 cm. Measure the finished door and controls, not just the base. Also check cabinet, shelf, hose, and door-swing clearance.

Will a washer pedestal reduce back pain?

Raising a front-load opening may reduce some low bending, but no pedestal can guarantee pain relief or prevent injury. Basket position, wet-load weight, twisting, reaching, controls, and personal health also matter. Test the whole workflow and seek professional healthcare or accessibility advice when needed.

Are adjustable washer pedestals universal?

No. A dimensional range does not establish appliance approval, support-point fit, attachment, stability, floor suitability, or utility clearance. The washer manufacturer and pedestal instructions must permit the exact setup. W618-2’s current authoritative support range is 46–70 cm, but every other compatibility check still applies.

Can I run a washer while the pedestal wheels are unlocked?

No. The appliance must be level and immobilized according to both manuals before operation. For W618-2, verify every brake and any stationary support method. Never use hoses, walls, cabinets, or another appliance to prevent rolling.

Can I move the washer while it is connected?

Do not do so. The W618-2 record limits movement to a stopped and disconnected appliance for tasks such as floor cleaning. Follow the washer instructions to shut off, unplug, drain, and disconnect it. Clear a level route and use capable help.

Does W618-2 include a storage drawer?

The current Shopify title and product text say it has an integrated pull-out drawer, but the seven current media images reviewed for this article do not clearly show one. Confirm the supplied manual, package contents, and current seller response before purchase. Do not infer the drawer from the title alone.

What does the 400 kg claim mean?

It is a merchant-stated maximum load in the current W618-2 listing, not an independent certification or a recommended target. The washer manufacturer, support distribution, base assembly, casters, floor, and installation can impose lower limits. Never use the number alone to approve a setup.

Can I put a dryer or refrigerator on the same pedestal model?

The W618-2 record names several floor-standing appliance categories, but each exact appliance has its own stability, ventilation, fuel, drainage, attachment, and support requirements. Confirm manufacturer approval and every measurement. Do not assume that fitting inside 46–70 cm proves suitability.

Use a final washer-pedestal checklist

A good pedestal height is the one that fits the appliance, user, utilities, floor, and room at the same time. It improves the intended reach without moving another control or obstruction into a worse position. Its frame, support points, brakes, and installation remain inspectable throughout the appliance’s life.

• Identify the exact washer model and manufacturer-approved support options.
• Measure support points in both directions, not only cabinet width.
• Add pedestal height to the washer’s door, control, dispenser, and top heights.
• Mock up reach for every regular user and the real laundry basket.
• Trace full washer-door, room-door, cabinet, and possible drawer travel.
• Check overhead, side, rear, front, ventilation, and service clearances.
• Verify fill hoses, drain, valves, and power remain correctly routed and reachable.
• Inspect the floor for level, strength, moisture, damage, and caster suitability.
• Use enough capable people and manufacturer-approved handling methods.
• Assemble, square, secure, level, and immobilize the complete system.
• Stop for rocking, rail movement, leaks, weak brakes, abnormal vibration, or conflicts.
• Resolve W618-2’s support-range and drawer-media inconsistencies before purchase.

If your washer manufacturer permits this type of base, the 46–70 cm support range fits the approved contact points, and an approximately 20 cm lift improves your measured layout, review the current NIUXX W618-2 product record and authorized images. Confirm the supplied manual, drawer configuration, brakes, attachment, and package before installing.
