rachel carroll: It was pretty easy to assemble, I was nervous when it was put together it seemed not sturdy but after putting a 20 gallon frog tank it has held up with no issues.

SDetaga: The stand looks nice but I have had to contact the manufacturer or distributor for parts. Braced, did not fit. Bottom shelf did not fit. Tired of it not fitting. Will give one more try and then it becomes a glorified plant stand. Looks nice. When bought from Amazon, took weeks to get and when I decided to get another instead, Amazon would not let me cancel. Even so, it arrived late. I kept it almost to the end of the return date, then decided I needed it. Tried to put it together only to find the parts did not fit. The manufacturer / distributor was great, but I was burned out as first the supportive straps did not work, the the bottom shelf would not fit. I am tired of the issues. The return by date has passed. I think it would look nice in my front hall covered with plants.

Kristy: If you’re looking for a metal aquarium stand, you found it! I love it so much I bought 2. It fit my 10 g and my 20 g perfectly.

Once assembled (took maybe 10 minutes?) it’s very sturdy. The 20 g has enough room under it to store some buckets under it.

It’s stylish and sturdy. I don’t think it’s wobbly at all, and It’s not going to topple over easily. It can be bolted to the wall if this is a possibility.

I did use some two sided foam tape to create some traction, since glass/metal/plastic all tend to be slippery and I don’t want the tank moving around. Although once filled with water it’s pretty heavy so I doubt it would actually move, but … just in case

Caden Lane: Although I assembled myself, an extra pair of hands would be helpful. It's all about aligning and screwing I had my doubts about the tremendous weight of a 55 gallon aquarium, bit indeed the weight is distributed. It is a clean design and so much better than bulky stands. I recommend a glass or crate insert for shelf below for decoration or storage. So it has a dual purpose.

Helen Sklavenitis: Delivery was fast, however the package was torn and the secured tape was torn only a few tape was secured.

Assembling was easy and the sturdiness is good.

Nelia Rutledge: It took a little while to arrive but was worth the wait. Looks great and fits my 5 gallon tank perfectly. As I was assembling, I was wondering if it would be sturdy when done and it is very solid.

LisaLisa: Overall, this is a very good value--much less expensive than any other aquarium stands out there. The reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5: it's unfortunate that the bottom is completely open, with no shelf or supports of any kind. A thin piece of wood or some metal rungs along the bottom would have made the lower half of the stand more usable. I'm hoping to place a rectangular basket on the bottom to hold food and supplies but haven't found the right size yet. A note about customer service: the stand was missing a metal foot piece when it arrived, so I called the company listed on the assembly instructions, and they were fantastic to deal with. They apologized and mailed out a replacement piece right away, no questions asked, and it arrived very quickly (a couple of days).

Willb66: My stand arrived surprisingly fast. About 2 weeks earlier than expected. If you order, be cautious about shipping. There was no indication of the shipping charges which probably should have been a red flag on my part. The day before it arrived I was charged $78 by FedEx for the shipping. I was borderline in my decision about the value of the stand and would not have ordered it knowing it was going to cost that much more. But the shipping I guess is my problem. Looking at the stand now, it is worth the price excluding shipping costs. It arrived in a well beaten up box but it was packed really well inside with no damage or missing pieces. The only serious complaint is about the tiny wrench included in the assembly package. It was so useless, not even fitting the bolts tight enough to turn them. The only thing I had around was a set of needle nose plyers to work with. I still fumbled with them but it was better than the included wrench. You should be prepared for this to assemble it correctly. The instructions were clear and simple. Be careful as the finish scratches easily with metal. The unfinished corners of the stand is sharp and I accidentally dragged it across the shelf during...

Jennifer FossettJennifer Fossett: This item had quite the journey to get to my house but once I picked it up and put it together I was in love with it. It was super easy to put together, not at all wobbly like some of the reviews have mentioned and looks perfect with my 10 gallon tank. The only thing I wish was different about this stand was I wish it came with a shelf for the bottom of it. It would be nice to have that option if you didn't want to put another tank on the bottom shelf. The price dropped quite dramatically after I purchased this which was a little disappointing, but other then that I'm super happy with it.

Tiffany: Stand was pretty easy to assemble and is very sturdy. I have a 20 gallon long tank on it and it doesnt wobble or anything. The trick is to assemble and then ratchet the bolts tighter after you have it all together.

Anyways, the only downside is that there is no lip or anything to help hold the tank in place. It is just a flat smooth top and the tank easily slides on it so I can easily see someone bumping into this stand the wrong way and the tank just sliding right off. I almost had that problem when I moved the tank from my counter to the stand. It had everything in it but the water and when I set it down it slid right across and almost tipped off the edge. Haven't had any issues since filling it and backing the stand again a wall and a cabinet on another side.
