We have a Gardenia and it is pretty tight but fits. We have Kenmore front loaders. The door on the dryer can be switched but not on the washer. If the washer is on the right then moving clothes from the washer to the dryer would be inconvenient. I can't believe they have it reversed in some houses - no excuse for that.

We originally ordered top loaders and the depth was to deep but the installers from Sears didn't know what they were doing and did not suggest the flat dryer connection for tight spaces. Take measurements ! They planned very poorly when they built these models.
