We originally built this perfect single column laundry basket organizer.

What Laundry Baskets Should I Use?

For this project I recommend a 1.5 Bushel Rectangle Laundry Basket, this results in a project 24" deep (standard cabinet depth) x about 6 feet wide

You can go up to a 2 Bushel Rectangle basket, but expect the project to become 27-30" deep, which could be a good solution in bigger laundry rooms or if used as a laundry folding island, but in most medium to small laundry rooms, would be cumbersome and create a too deep surface top (like a table pushed up against a wall).  The other consideration with going to the 2 Bushel size is the completed project may be difficult to move through smaller doorways or down stairwells.

Inspect the laundry basket first to make sure it will slide (nothing obstructing under the top lip), it is rectangle in shape (avoid curved baskets)

 

 

Plans Designed to Adjust for Different Size Laundry Baskets

We wanted these plans to work with different sized laundry baskets - in case you already have your baskets or can't source specific ones, or if you wanted to go bigger or smaller or orientate the baskets lengthwise instead of depth wise.

We did keep the overall height of the project tabletop at 30" - as this is table height, and an ideal height for folding on top of - but this can be easily altered too.

 

How Do I Measure My Laundry Basket?

You'll want to measure your laundry baskets to get the perfect fit in the finished product.  Here's the measurement's you'll need:

measuring laundry baskets

  • Under the Lip - find by measuring overall width and then subtract out the lip overhangs (should be about 16-17" for 1.5 bushel basket)
  • Overall Height (should be between 10-12" for 1.5 bushel basket)
  • Overall Depth (should be about 24" for 1.5 bushel basket)

Ultimate DIY Adirondack Chair Plans

Why Build this Adirondack Chair?

This chair is a combination of my original modern Adirondack chair circa 2010 and our current favorite Adirondack Chair where we went to a 2x4 frame and 1x6 design for durability and building ease back in 2019.  These updates create a new chair that has the best of all designs:

  • Simpler to build, no pocket holes and beginner friendly methods
  • Minimal angle cuts
  • Durable design, similar to how a picnic table is built
  • Very comfortable, even without a cushion
  • Compact footprint 
  • Easy to move around
  • But still heavy enough to not blow away in the wind
