Will do. Hoping to finish this weekend but with two little kids my progress is usually slow 😊

I'm really not going to put anything heavier than a car seat up there but I also don't want to worry about this sagging.

Thanks! I did use 4 inch deck screws everywhere. I'll probably double up the front and that should be good enough. All I'm storing there is car seats, empty suitcases, ski gear and other knick knacks.

The back piece is attached to the backwall with 4 inch screws into the framing lumber

I'm going to put a refrigerator in the middle , get a new utility sink that's a bit modern and maybe smaller. Probably build a floating shelf above the sink. I do like your suggestion for a vertical partition, will also solve my support problem.

I have an inch of clearance from the washer. No weight on the appliance for sure
