DIY Laundry basket organizer made from 1x boards - easy to cut and lightweight, and inexpensive. Can also be built using pallet wood. Free step by step plans from Ana-White.com

Preparation
- 5 - 1x4 boards, 8 feet long or 15 1x4 pallet boards (4 must be 3 feet long and the rest must be at least 25" long)
- 2 - 1x2 boards, 8 feet long
SIDES
- 4 - 1x4 @ 35-1/4"
- 10 - 1x2 @ 17-1/2"
Top/Bottom and Back
- 11 - 1x4 @ 25-1/4"
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Instructions
Step 1
It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.

These come closer to fitting but still had to make dresser a little wider so they would fit.

Be careful when making these…
Be careful when making these plans as the laundry baskets shown are 26 and 3/8inches long, while the inside deminsions shown are 23 and 3/8inches. And they don't make laundry baskets that will fit inside the current plans demensions, that I can fond anyways. So you will need to adjust the plans accordingly.
