It's called a lavandero - here's a great blog with pics and instructions. In the long run, I think it's more sturdy than the wash tub and you won't be bent over it, either.  http://nicapc.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-laundry-baby.html In central America they use a counter-top height concrete structure that houses the washboard surface and a sink.

Since the energy star appliance spins your clothes free of excess water you need something similar for the wonderwash. Washing isn't nearly as big a deal as wringing out each article of clothing.
