Most movement of the stand will be from uneven floors, even in new home builds. There should be little movement.

Do you accept refunds?

To ensure the integrity of the stands, we cannot accept refunds if the outer packaging box has been opened or if any inside contents have been removed.

Therefore it is essential that you measure the space you have and your appliances and use our size charts to order the correct stand.

Change of mind refunds after shipment cannot be recalled, please contact us once your delivery arrives to give you the next steps.

Will there be any movement when the tumble dryer is placed on top?

There should be very little movement once the tumble dryer is placed on the top shelf.

Movement is likely due to uneven floors or the tumble dryer hasn’t been placed directly on the top shelf. Please adjust your feet settings.

Stand doesn’t fit into the space I have.

The Dryer Stand is adjustable with three (3) different configurations. Ensure you measure the exact width and height of your washing machine, and the space you have and use the size chart that shows the three various configurations BEFORE you place your order.

The Maxi Stand is also adjustable so therefore, ensure you take all the measurements as shown in the size charts.

Please note, we cannot accept returns once the packaging box has been opened.

Can I place a small chest freezer on the top shelf?

Whilst this has not been tested, some buyers have reported using this for a small chest freezer.

If you choose to use the stand with a small chest freezer, ensure the stand is stable and the weight fully loaded does not exceed the recommended weight limit.

Please note though: we hold no responsibility should you choose to use the dryer stand in this way.
