The Onko 2-Tier Topper is designed as a functional bridge for side-by-side laundry units, creating a continuous workspace for folding and sorting. It features a 54-inch wide surface made of high-density MDF with a water-resistant wood-grain laminate. One of the primary safety features is the 2.85-inch high edge rails, which help prevent small items like socks or detergent caps from falling behind or between the machines.
The 27.5-inch depth is calibrated to provide full coverage for standard front-load appliances. Because the topper rests directly on the machines, using anti-vibration rubber pads can help prevent the wooden surface from amplifying the sound of the spin cycle. This unit is particularly helpful for households that want to reclaim the "dead zone" on top of their appliances for active laundry tasks.
The laminate finish is built to handle the humidity of a laundry room and damp clothing, though it is not intended to support heavy secondary appliances like mini-fridges. Ensuring that the washer and dryer are level with each other will provide a flat, stable foundation for the topper. This "bridge" design helps keep laundry supplies within easy reach while protecting the tops of the machines from scratches.
For those who prefer a 2-tier storage solution that also includes an elevated shelf for extra detergent storage, the over-washer storage racks category.
