Storage wise we gained lot of room. We have 10' ceiling, so small cabinet moved over top of stack. Keeping lightbulbs, and things we hardly use. The new floor cabinet is the size of a pantry with double doors slide out lower shelves, and goes to ceiling. We doubled our cabinet space, and used the old cabinet over our utility sink.

Very easy to do, all 3 of new w&d units were stackable if we chose. Looks very organized, and definitely user friendly

Will repeat process at our next home.
Your washer is on a 7" riser, then another 7" riser with the dryer on top of a riser on top of the washer? With a cabinet on top ? You must have way more than a 10 ft ceiling. I just can't understand how you have a dryer on top of a washer, with 14 extra inches of lift and a cabinet above.
