I like the stack-ability of this stand, however you since you cannot put rimless on anything but a flat surface I had to get a 3/4 inch Melamine shelf from Home Depot and cut it to size. It ended up looking amazing. I even used the top stabilizer pegs as a way to anchor down the top shelf to stay in place. I do believe this stand is overpriced to begin with, hence the lesser of the stars. It’s probably $50 overpriced however it did ship from the states.

Cindy Minuti: I love this stand! It’s sturdy and doesn’t take up too much space. The wider bottom makes it very stable. I have a 20L on top and a 10 gallon on the bottom. My only con is that it’s a bit tricky to do water changes or clean the bottom tank. It’s definitely doable though.

Renald jean: Parfait pour aquarium de 29 gallons, toutefois c'est mon 2ème et toujours le même problème les vis pour la tablette avant , vraiment presque impossible a pénétrer, j'aimerais un conseil de la part de la compagnie , j'ai brisé un bon tournevis. L'assemblage pour le meuble lui-même très simple, le côté négatif c'est l'assemblage de la tablette avant.

AllpandaAllpanda: I love this stand! Exactly what I needed as we don't have alot of space. I have a 20 gallon long on top and 15 gallon on the bottom.
Only issues as to why I didn't give 5 stars across the board are; if you are using a screwdriver there isn't alot of room and the small screws are hard to get in the holes. My husband ended up using his screw gun to get the job done. Also I think it was a tad on the expensive side at $214

B. Wills: I will state up front that the stand is very sturdy and will likely do its job for many years. But, I had two issues during assembly. 1) One peg on a lower leg that supports the bottom shelf was broken off. I had to use a 1/4" x 20 short bolt in its place. 2) the pre-drilled holes that you are supposed to put small Phillips screws into are too small in diameter. Those with less hand and arm strength would not be able to get those screws in.

SantiagoSantiago: It's very nice looking, sturdy and love the fact you can put two aquariums upto 15 gallons down and upto 30 gallons up. The only issue was to put the screws in the back part, they're not easy to fit into those little holes.

Sean J.: This stand looks really nice and I like how it has a wider foot base that the tank base. There were a few issues with it though. First the top tank base was bent and dipped in the middle by about .100" - .050". I fixed this issue by adding window sealing foam around the perimeter of the base and cutting away the foam over the pins. I've only had my tanked filled for a few hours now but this fix seems to be working fine. The other issue is the fact that the screw holes do not come threaded; the self tapping screws provided in the kit were not quite up to the job of threading into the steel frame. I also needed to spend a bit of time deburring the holes after they were threaded. My tank is sturdy when attempting to wobble it from front to back but because of how the legs are attached to the upper base there is a slight wobble when pushing it side to side; I do not believe that this is a structural issue and feel confident that it is sound enough to support my tank but I still believe a better design should have been used to avoid this (like adding corner braces on each leg instead of just the from ones and making them of thicker gauge steel). overall I would say this stand looks...

Carmen: This stand is nicely styled. I appreciate that the front wood piece flips up so I can easily reach my tank underneath if needed. However, I really did not like how the top of the stand is open with two cross bars in the middle. It also had these little pegs on each corner. Unless you have the tank this stand is designed for, the top is unsightly. I have a 20 gallon tall tank (12 1/2 inch by 30 1/4 inch), and I had these big gaps on either end. Only the front and back of the tank were flush with the stand. Yet, the sides of the tank were not resting on anything. Plus, the little pegs on each corner are simply awkward. Since a big tank will not be easy to topple over (unless you physically throw yourself into it), the pegs serve little purpose aside from maybe lining up your tank and you first set it on the stand. I ended up cutting a piece of wood to set on top so it looks nice and supports my tank on all 4 sides. Aside from that, it came in great condition and it was easy to put together. I just wish I came with a tabletop.

Amazon Customer: Good stand, only one I could find that holds two tanks. Looks good, and level out of the box. Somewhat frustrating to set up; the bottom shelf needs to be jammed into place when following the directions. The screws are also difficult, I suggest getting someone to hold the pieces for you while you screw the screws in.
Four stars though, because while I got this during a momentary lower price and free shipping, the price keeps fluctuating between outrageous and absurd.
Update 1/27/2020: Nearly 3 years later, and the stand is still doing great. I recently put a 10 gallon (Aqueon) tank, and honestly, I don't know why Aqueon didn't design this stand to fit a 10 on the bottom, which is their most popular size tank. The sides of my 10 hang off the edges, so the important corners are not supported. Since it's only a 10 and I'm not doing anything crazy with it, I think I can get away with it. This particular 10 has also proven itself worthy by not breaking when I partially dropped it 1/4 inch while filled with water. You must use the provided board if you want to put a 10 on the bottom, however.
If you do put a tank on the bottom shelf, do not install the wooden flap. It...

K. Forbes: I have the 20 long aquarium variety of this stand and it is sturdy enough to deal with it and a 15 gallon on the bottom. Where it fell off the mark were the screws. The pilot holes in the frame were next to impossible to get the screws to screw in. I dislike things I have to get help in putting together and even my handyman commented that these were really hard to deal with. Other than that once you get it together, it is a really good stand.
