Very difficult to assemble. The holes do not align perfectly so you have to keep moving things around until it works. Some of the screws are very hard to put in. I was afraid to break the screws if I forced them but I finally decided to keep trying. After much effort they finally all went in. The finished product is not aligned perfectly but it's all black and nobody is going to look up close.

Taylor and Tyler are a great blessing to your aquodic section! They are so helpful and Sencere that they make me feel like I matter in what I am doing and that the animals are important. Thank you so much for employing such wonderful, caring, knowledgeable workers!

I bought this 4 hours ago, the box appeared as if the 20 gallon stand had been returned once before..despite this I carried on. Once home, it was easy to assemble until I got to the ONE BOLT that wasn't like the others.. "Not machined properly" I believe is the technical term. It really looked like someone had returned this before. And there's clearly no quality check going on where these are made. And it's a very large pain to find that out when you're attempting to build it and setup in a day. I'm attempting to upload a photo of the bolt.

Stand is perfect for limited space. Looks great & does it's job.

I purchased one of these last year and was satisfied enough with it, the tank doesn’t completely touch the base at every point but it was close. However I now purchased another and this time the gapping was far worse between the tank and the base. No matter how I messed with the screws nothing would get it to sit evenly. Ended up returning along with the 29 version I bought of this too, which had a visible bump on the metal base area where the tank would sit making it unusable. Clearly quality control is an issue with these and I’m not risking cracking tanks on uneven bases, nor continuing to waste time buying more of these and returning until I might eventually find an okay one, and I recommend you don’t either.

I love this stand. Its sleek and out of the way . However I bought the 55 gallon stand and could not put it together

I had to return the original stand because after I had it all put together the last two screws would not go into it’s appropriate position. I realized after several attempts that the holes were not aligning. I returned the item and was given a new box, same issue. Welding is not done properly on the stand, poor workmanship.

It was ok. The factory welds were a little uneven, which was a little upsetting.
