Default Re: Washing Machines: Front load vs. top load

I heard from a couple of appliance sales people that the front loaders tend to vibrate and move around when mounted on top of the metal pedestals. The idea of making your own out of wood or some other heavy, dense material makes sense, perhaps adding dense rubber on the top and bottom.
