Aquatic Fundamentals Black Aquarium Stand with Shelf - for 10 and 20 Gallon Aquariums, 14.5 in

I shopped around for an aquarium stand and found a lot of expensive items that I didn't really like. I wanted something simple, not a giant piece of furniture. And I wanted something easy to assemble. This stand is sturdy, it looks nice, and it took 20 minutes to put together. Our aquarium is a 10 gallon tank, but it would accommodate a 20 gallon as well. There just wouldn't be any space around the edges of the top shelf.My only (small) complaint is that the threads on one of the leg pieces were messed up so it was very hard to put one of the screws in. But that was probably just on the one I got and not a universal problem.What else can I say? I like it a lot, it was exactly what I was looking for and it was a lot less expensive than the other aquarium stands I researched.

It's unfortunate that this stand is misrepresented in the product description. I recently purchased a 16g Nuvo Aquarium to use for a reef setup. Unfortunately, upon opening the box for this stand, which was packaged nicely, there is a sticker that specifically states that the maximum capacity of this stand is 200lbs. Let's do some math:Tank ~40 lbsSalt Water (16g @ 8.556 lbs/g) = ~137 lbsLive Rock (Approx 1-2 lbs per gallon) = ~16 lbsLive Sand (Approx 1 lb per gallon) = 16 lbs209 lbs - and that isn't including equipment needed to run the tank.If you were to go with a fresh water tank at 20 gallons you are at 167 lbs with just water. Just a heads up.Don't get me wrong here. I think the stand looks nice. I didn't put it together to avoid wasting my time (which I guess is moot now that I have to return it), so if you intend to use this for a 10 gallon tank, I'm sure the stand will look great and function well. The shelves look like they are coated in a nice finish as well. Unfortunately, this won't work for me. I REALLY wish I had known what this sticker said BEFORE I ordered it.

There's room on top of this stand for our 10 gallon tank, the food, and a small lamp for the sofa next to it. The relatives eager to put this together (including a 10 year old) started with the shelves in the wrong order and ended up making a permanent mark on the eventual top shelf from columns screwed in too tightly. They thought the instructions were a little confusing. Anyway, I think it's nice and sturdy and well balanced with weight on top. Good value for the price.

very small does not fit my 20 gal tank!

Very easy to assemble and cheaper than what I could find in most stores. I have a 5.5 that I'm using for a betta, and this tank stand is perfect for the tank itself. I have the tank on the top and use the two bottom shelves for storage, and everything is holding steady. Glad that I purchased this product. A pain is that you always have to watch for spilled water because if you don't wipe it up fast enough it forms rings that look unsightly and displeasing to the eye, but other than that, a good product.

Bought this stand for my 20 gallon tank and it works just fine. Would have given 5 stars but one of the tank's bottom legs makes me uncomfortable as it noticeably not aligned with the corresponding upper leg.

This product was easy to assemble (took about 20 minutes with no tools needed). Once built, it is very sturdy. I have used for both 10 & 20 gallon standard tank & fits great. However, a 20 gallon long does not fit. I placed baskets on the bottom 2 shelves and it hides all the food & equipment very well. The only complaint I have is that is a little to short (stands ~3 feet tall).

Almost everything about this stand is perfect for me. It's simple, inexpensive, not too large and very sturdy. My only complaint is that it is not completely waterproof. I spilled a bit of water on it during a water change and it created a couple of small welts. Its not very noticeable though so I don't really mind. I highly recommend this stand for smaller aquariums!! :)
