The amount of noise and the amount of wobbling the washing machine makes on this pedestal, is not worth having the pedestal just for those 2 reasons. The brackets, nuts & bolts and hold the washing machine feet supposedly sturdy on the pedestal will eventually loosen and the washing machine will fall off. I am unsure if it's an installation issue - I paid a professional to install the washing machine on top of the pedestal - or, if the pedestal is not suited for its purpose. The pedestal was not cheap, but I needed the new front-loader raised because of neck injuries. Like I said, the pedestal looks nice, seems to be practical, but.
