Q: Which way does the door open? I need right to left

A: If you are facing machine it opens on the left side

Q: Is it possible to stack an existing gas dryer on top of this? I know it says it's not stackable but can't see why it wouldn't be ok.

A: I stacked an electric dryer on top, although the holes are very different for the existing stacking kit I had so I had to be resourceful and figure out another way I took 2 inch industrial Velcro strips and went around the entire square top. It may not be approved by the manufacturer, but it was a fraction of the cost, and it doesn’t move at all!!!!
