"Easy to put together."

It fits my 20 gallon tank perfectly. My wife was always mad about the aquarium supplies, bottled water, food, etc. I must have a better UPS driver than most. Great compliment for the Fluval Flex 15 aquarium. You do have complete access on the sides as the panel is only on the front. The only thing I would be cautious of ordering this is the dimensions of the stand. The end result looks so nice and feels sturdy.

Imagitarium Final Thoughts

"I'm happy I ordered it."

Despite that, it is still a great stand. For the money, I like this product. The holes on the areas your will be screwing in were tuff. This fit my fluval chi tank perfectly. Otherwise it a very sturdy and easy to assemble stand. The reason that I gave 4 stars in stead of 5 is because of the wasted space. The only issue I have, though, is the doors.

"This is a HEAVY piece."

It was kinda a pain to put together but other then that it is awesome! A lot of storage and our aquatic turtles love all that space from 20 to a 40 gallon. Seems very sturdy and looks nice with my 50 gallon aquarium. Very sturdy- much better quality than I was expecting for the price. Holds my 10 gal fish tank with no worries. The shelving Is a plus, but I feel it is overpriced. Build time for 1 person is about 75 mins.

"Easy to set up."

All of the stands I came across were either too flimsy or too expensive. So for the price I would buy again. The assembly took me about an hour with some distractions. Its all open so you can fit everything from a 5lb c02 tank to a wound up garden hose. The final part of the assembly was the door. This fit my fluval chi tank perfectly. Only negative is it scratches easily.

"This is great."

The coating on the outside is great. The old version required nails and glue and had a cardboard backing. My only wish would be that the center door could be a little wider. Considering the price I'll probably go with Aquatic Fundamentals again in the future. It is easy to set up if you take your time to lay it all out first. It fits my 20 gallon tank perfectly. As I proceeded to assemble the stand, I was pleasantly surprised!

"Nice stand."

There was a knock at the door and a package arrived. Best part, didn't have to buy a tank and a table separate. The quality and rigidity of the stand seem to be above par. Easy assemble, good match for SeaClear 50 Gallon. This went together easily and has held up nicely. The quality and rigidity of the stand seem to be above par. Once that was done, the rest of the assembly was easy.

"I like the stand."

The black matches the black plastic trim on our 10 gal tank almost perfectly. They came apart and extremely cumbersome. But it was still in good shape, just a few mild scratches. This stand is perfect for my bio cube aquarium. Beware if you find the top on line. The back has large openings for filter tubes and power cords. The legs clip into the top frame, and the bottom shelf forces the legs apart.

"Easy assembly."

Easy to out together and does its job- holding my Fluval Flex. Its more streamline with my furniture and I like it alot! This fit my fluval chi tank perfectly. They company was very helpful with replacement. I wanted to get a fish stand for my 20 gallon high aquarium. If you want a shelf, you'll have to install them yourself from your own wood.

"Looks great too."

I have a 55 gallon Marineland aquarium. All pieces to my unit were there and after reading reviews I was concerned. After looking at many different stand at local pet stores, I was very disappointed. Very sturdy- much better quality than I was expecting for the price. There was a knock at the door and a package arrived. If you have a lot of large things to store the shelves would not be an issue. Once properly assembled, the 32 gallon Bio-cube tank sits rock solid on the stand.

"I love the finish!"

You do have complete access on the sides as the panel is only on the front. Maybe I will get a nicer one some day, but this looks fine in the living room too. I used to have the same one same size, but black mode about 2 years ago. They then tell you to mount the door and THEN install the top hinge.

"Perfect for a 29 gallon."

I must have a better UPS driver than most. After looking at many different stand at local pet stores, I was very disappointed. There was a knock at the door and a package arrived. This is even more gorgeous in person. My wife was always mad about the aquarium supplies, bottled water, food, etc. I even had a couple of extra screws.

"However I will say this."

The bottom is a little curve, I cut a yoga mat to even out the little curve. Check out my how to video on my YouTube channel electric blue aquariums. I have a 55 gallon Marineland aquarium. Otherwise it a very sturdy and easy to assemble stand. The design fits right in with the house and it looks amazing. Once properly assembled, the 32 gallon Bio-cube tank sits rock solid on the stand. I never had a proper aquarium stand before.

Its more streamline with my furniture and I like it alot! Maybe I will get a nicer one some day, but this looks fine in the living room too. But it was still in good shape, just a few mild scratches. This stand is perfect for my bio cube aquarium. And it took me and my gf's 11 year old son about an hour to put together. The 29 gallon stand was easy to assemble but it should be done with two people. Never have had concerns about it being strong enough or stable.

"Well packaged."

If not for the price I would give this 5 stars easily. Maybe I will get a nicer one some day, but this looks fine in the living room too. The bottom shelf has no pegs and can accommodate another small tank or supplies. Stand was a perfect fit for my Aqueon 10 Gallon Tank on the top. Smaller tank I upgraded from had a stand with tiered shelves. The final part of the assembly was the door. The assembly took me about an hour with some distractions.

"Very nice look."

Seems very sturdy and looks nice with my 50 gallon aquarium. It looks much more expensive and custom than it is. Hopefully the above can save someone else a bit of aggravation. It isn't the best to look at, but it was very cheap compared to the nice wood stands. I am knocking a star for the construction of the frame being not quite square. Each part was labeled for easy step by step assemble. The final part of the assembly was the door.

"I also have a small apt."

Directions were easy to follow, no missing pieces. Very solid construction and durable. If not for the price I would give this 5 stars easily. Beware if you find the top on line. I was wary of particle board stands but this is a great value and is very sturdy. If you have a lot of large things to store the shelves would not be an issue. The only issue I have, though, is the doors.
