And beware of impulse purchases... Of course I finally assembled this just _after_ the 60 day return period. ::insert eye-roll here:: One of the bolts for anchoring the top shelf was entirely the wrong size. Assembly was a bit fussy but easy (a cheap version of the popular flat-pack furniture) until it wasn't--a couple of the nuts did not sit properly at first and the wood cracked around the holes when attempting to insert and tighten the bolts. Reseating them correctly helped relieve the stress but it is still to be seen how these cracks will affect the stand under the weight of a full tank (at least 250lbs for a 29gal with water and substrate). I'm not sure I'll use this for the aquarium I had intended it for; if I decide for safety's sake (of aquarium inhabitants and my floor) to not use it to hold a large tank of water, it should work well enough for a terrarium, and otherwise it will still make a pretty, if expensive, household shelf. There is definitely a need for a anti-tip safety feature; there is none and the only warning is in the fine print: "For additional stability, we recommend placing product against a wall or in a corner." Not adequate in the least; products like this are typically *attached* to a wall. Note also that the item is made of wood and compressed wood, and there are cautions against getting it too wet. For an aquarium stand... ::insert another eye roll::

There are any choices but black. I need white. I wait until Petco makes a white tank

Pretty easy to assemble. Looks good for its price, does not look like it can actually hold a 20g aquarium tho (or not a for a long time at least lol) definitely not with everything that goes inside the tank. I’ll be using it for a 5g, maybe 10g

Works great. Need to people to assemble but it was pretty easy to follow the pictures. We have 2 stands, one for a 10 gallon and 1 for a 5 gallon. Will buy again.
