Karinda Kay Corcoran: It's pretty, but only one side is colored, so you see the tanish wood material on the bottom of shelfs and what not. Its shakey, I have it against the wall, so it has more suport, but it isnt the sturdiest. The whole thing shakes when I open the doors. Also the doors are a little annoying. They are kinda hard to close, I have to push on them from the bottom and top corners to close, and it shakes the whole stand.

With that said, it holds my 75 gallon tank perfectly (I have a bearded dragon, I dont know how it would hold a tank full of water). It has really useful storage space. You can move the shelfs up and down to allow for better storage depending on your needs. The cabinets have half open backing, so I am able to keep the extension cord tucked away in the back of the stand, while still having access to it.

In terms of putting it together, it comes in peices that you need to put together yourself. My uncle put mine together and miss read the instructions, thus putting on of the peices in upside down. It still works fine, it just looks kinda ugly because not all sides of the material has the color on it. This could be fixed, but he said you would have to take the...

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: PROS:
+ Looks good
+ Color and finish as expected from product pictures. No chips on mine.
+ Functional and spacious storage interior with adjustable shelf heights
+ Moderately easy to assemble, comparable to IKEA furniture assembly. Parts and pieces are clearly labeled. 2 hours to assemble by myself going at an easy pace.
+ Feels sturdy enough. Supposedly rated to hold 450lbs which has a large enough margin for my 20 gallon long which is at most going to be 200lbs.
+ Good footprint, not too deep or wide.
+ Has open backing to run canister filter lines.
+ Decently hassle-free parts support.

CONS:
- Slight bowing in the center! Possibly due to uneven lengths of the middle support versus side support panels.
- A few pre-drilled holes were off by a few millimeters caused some difficulty in assembly. Had to be very careful everything was aligned properly when securing the screws.
- Came with a defective part (one of the doors).
- Many reviewers mention the interior packaging could be improved to prevent sliding around during transit and I agree.
- Mostly particle board to save costs, with a few pieces like the top surface being...

Kythri: Like any astute buyer, I checked reviews prior to buying, and found this item to have quite a mixed bag. That said, it was the perfect size and sturdiness for my purposes, it looked nice in photos, and the price sounded more than agreeable. So, I ordered the item, despite the negative reviews that absolutely exist.

On unloading the box's contents and laying them out to take stock against the directional pamphlet's breakdown of required parts, I found each piece of wood clearly labeled (and all absolutely intact - only a couple VERY minor scratches on ONE piece), and that I had all of the hardware necessary (in addition to a couple extra dowel rods beyond the directions' needs).

Now, we're going to get to my one complaint, and it's not even a complaint for myself. This project took myself (and my roomie, once I realized it was a 4-hand job at certain points) roughly 30 minutes to put together, after laying everything out. We're both pretty mechanically-inclined though, so following an assembly instruction is second nature to us. That said, the instructional booklet could be more in-depth regarding what to do, at each given step. While we certainly understood the...
