Ikea Metod is currently also my favorite. Similar to kitchen appliances, the 60cm wide utility room appliances can be neatly integrated. The only question is whether the shallow base cabinets under a washing machine can withstand the weight and movement.
The only question is whether the flat base cabinets can withstand the weight and movement under a washing machine.
Washing machines and dryers are usually not integrated into a base cabinet but placed instead of a base cabinet. Most standard machines are designed for this.
Sorry, I was unclear: The devices can be placed ON a flat (40cm high) base cabinet and enclosed on both sides by tall cabinets. Then they stand integrated into the tall cabinet wall, as can be seen, for example, with Schüller. And here is precisely the question about the robustness of these base cabinets.
I believe I read that for this application they are specially reinforced, for example at Schüller.
I don't believe - I don't know! - that the shallow base cabinets can hold that much weight. When I see what the washing machine alone weighs empty, I wouldn’t trust any Metod with that. It should also be durable over time and withstand vibrations (:cool . For different machines, there are also custom-fit base cabinets directly from the manufacturer.
