maybe because Florida is a popular state for retirees and many of them buy smaller dwellings there?

We're planning to move, and there are places down here in Florida that for some reason unbeknownst to me sell refurbished all-in-one washer/dryer tall units, one on top of the other. I'm thinking to buy one here and have it hauled up to PA with some other furniture which would make it cheaper.

Yes thats what my orig post was referring to. Mine is full size, but came w/brackets that allow it to be stacked. Never stacked. Need the space for safety reason and function so Id like to try but was worried that because they r full size that there could be an issue- which I still havent read that anyone has this setup.. Ive seen the slimmer stackables made for a small closet which I presume are safer as they are smaller. But I like the full size and hope to work w/ it. Otherwise it seems I may just have to consider the smaller stackable or the all-in-one unit that I'm hearing about now.
