I made a pedestal for the front loader I plan to buy but it just occured to me if the feet aren't anchored somehow that the washer could "dance" off the pedestal if it went out of balance. Do you think that could ever happen? I could easily add edges to stop the legs from going any further. I made the pedestal out of all 2x12 wood including the top so it's sturdy and level.
