Ridiculously cheap, ridiculously easy mods to consider

I've had these on for over a year and no issues with anything broken or marked.

I actually 3D printed these hooks but any hook you want to use will work.

Of course you did. Why would we think anything else?

If you have the Flexsteel Euro booths with storage underneath, the drawers can be significantly larger.

The drawers are made of 1/2” plywood with interior dimensions of 25” x 12” x 6” for a total volume of 1800 cubic inches.

this weekend. I pulled em out and rebuilt them, moving the rails that hold the drawer glides as far over as possible. Using 1/2” birch, I was able to build them to interior dimensions of 34.5” x 16” x 6.5”, giving us a new volume of 3588 cubic inches - a 99% increase in volume.

They’re also built much better now as Flexsteel just stapled em together and I used pocket holes for all of my joins (hard to do dovetails on the road).

MapWife is very happy.

pictures show the old drawer inside of the new ones. I plan to reuse the old ones and install them under the sink so MapWife can keep potatoes, onions and garlic in there.

Well done @MapNerd. I never understood why those drawers are as small as they are.

The problem: The dryer door does not stay in position while transferring from washer to dryer.

My solution was to glue a 5/16" diameter neodymium magnet to the hinge of the cabinet door. It can also be seen in the photo above.

Happy now to not clunk my head or fight with that door any more.

The holes in the frame to move the rails over are actually already predrilled and the rails that hold the glides are clearly designed to go against the frame so the drawers can be wider as the rails have cutouts to avoid frame bolts in exactly the right place. Just Flexsteel squeezing every last penny they could out of it, I guess. Probably saved them 100 sheets of plywood over the course of 5 years.

I wish our doors were reversible. They open the same direction as yours and it’s annoying. Would be much better and give more space if they opened towards the escape door.

Maybe if you turn the washer & dryer upside down........

Been a while since anyone has added a mod to this thread. Here is a cheap, easy one I did a few months ago:
