Got the idea from the mother in-law and when we finally got a house of our own, we followed suite. The extra storage is nice, but also having the washer and dyer combo a bit higher helps from having to lean down as much.
Given the LG dryer design, you have to have the pedestal. All it does is lift up the washer, and it's ridiculously expensive to buy and to 'install'. Plus the 'lip' of the pedestal that opens a drawer for storage, just collects dust every time you pull out the lint trap. The storage is not that useful as it's so low to the ground, but at least they offer it.

Having both my LG washer and dryer on pedestals makes it much easier on my 75 year old body to load the washer, transfer washed items to the dryer and retrieve dry laundry. I can open the drawers and set my laundry basket inside just below the door. It just makes the work easier to get done.
I love the pedestal as I don’t have to bend anymore to get my clothes out of the washer and dryer. It’s an added bonus that you can pull out the drawer and use it for storage.
Bought the pedestal for a dryer and it has worked out perfectly. The only problem I had with the product; when I took it out of the box it was shipped in there was a dent right in the front of the drawer. Little disappointed that a brand-new drawer has a dent, but it did not affect how the drawer works.
