Abstract: A stack-type laundry treating apparatus includes upper and lower treating apparatuses and aligning legs. The upper treating apparatus includes an upper cabinet including an upper side panel and an upper base panel. The lower treating apparatus includes a lower cabinet including a lower side panel. A top of the lower cabinet is covered with the upper base panel. The aligning legs are interposed between the upper side panel and the lower side panel to space the upper side panel and the lower side panel from each other by a predefined vertical spacing. The upper side panel has a bottom portion vertically and downwardly extending along the predefined vertical spacing.
