I setup this stand for my 32 gallon tank (this stand is rated for 40 gallons), and within a week the metal cross support beam started to bend and the whole top started to sag in the middle.... causing a gap of probably about 1/8" under the center of my tank that was not in contact with the stand at all... this could have resulted in the glass breaking at any time!... I immediately rushed out as soon as I noticed the stand was failing to a local pet store to get a different stand. In my photo below I have a metal yard stick along the top of the tank in front of the aquarium... you can see the gap under the yard stick... which gets bigger towards the center. Unfortunately I waited for several months after receiving the stand before I set it up, so I have no ability for any kind of refund/return.. .but want to make sure other buyers avoid this stand.

Such a great tablecabinet for our fishy friend, Leonard. And, looks fantastic with the rest of our furniture! I love how sturdy the piece is, and the built in cabinet is perfect for aquarium food, tank treatments, and extra filters.

Overall, I'm pleased with the look and sturdiness of the stand. I would have preferred one of the gray toned pieces but I chose this one for the metal framing and the overall size. So many of the companies that make aquarium stands these days don't seem to realize how they restrict their own market by making the stands such odd sizes so that they may only fit one particular brand or size tank, when an extra inch would greatly increase its usefulness. My only issue with assembly was the camlock hardware. I thought it was quite small for the job, and barely reached to 'lock' on the ones that connect the middle shelf to the sides. I don't think they allowed for the fact that the metal frame legs stop the shelf end from fully reaching the sides. I had to back the cam screws halfway out of their holes too reach the locking nut part. There's a little gap there. (photo) Haven't set up the tank yet, but I think it will look nice and the feet levelers will be useful. A little more space between the bottom and middle shelf would have been appreciated, because many canister filters are taller than the 15 " available there, but I believe I have found one that will fit okay. Hinges seem pretty stiff, but I haven't assembled then yet.

Very happy with my purchase the stand is very sturdy and looks nice. Is a simple clean design just what I was looking for thank you.

Be very cautious. Between the missing holes and the metal around the feet bending to the point that the adjustable feet are within the legs and no longer adjustable, do not buy. Currently waiting on a replacement stand to avoid disaster.
