Excellent stand
|
Date: June 8, 2008
|
"Quite easy to assemble & looks great. My only dislike (and it's a very small one) is the lack of shelves inside the cabinet. A shelf or two to hold smaller necessities (like food, nets, etc) would make it perfect."

Great Stand
|
Date: April 22, 2008
|
"The stand was shipped in a short amount of time. With Petco's periodic free shipping discounts it is an excellent price. Construction was incredibly easy, and can be done by a single person without assistance. The stand is a little wobbly on carpet, but that is to be expected."

High quality at a budget price

"I tend to be a klutz when it comes to assembling furniture like this, since 1) I never can think three-dimensionally the way the diagrams are shown in the instructions and 2) I'm clumsy with tools, never getting things in straight. I previously had very bad luck trying to assemble Top Fin furniture purchased at a competing B&M pet shop. There were so many parts to put together, but that was besides the problem. The materials were cheap and fragile. The nails wouldn't hammer in straight, causing the "wood" to crack. Some pieces didn't look like their illustration counterpart. And there seemed to be too many parts to keep track of what went where. After several frustrating hours, I sent it back the next day for refund.
Aquatic Fundamentals takes the guesswork out of all that, making it fairly intuitive with its short and simple digram and easy to keep track of parts. While all you need is a Phillips screwdriver to put the whole thing together, I recommend having some extra screws and perhaps pliers or a power tool as backup. I found the black screws to be rather "soft." It was pretty hard to screw in (I was doing it manually). Eventually, the screw stopped halfway and wouldn't go any further. The screwdriver wore out the top of the screw from the wear and tear, so I had to remove it with pliers and use a separate (i.e., not from this kit) set of screws. That worked just fine.
Although it is rather easy to assemble, I would recommend having a second person to help you keep everything perfectly aligned as you put in each piece. When you're done, you get a rather good, sturdy piece of furniture does your aquarium proud. It's very easy to move around once assembled, so you can decide where it will look best before you commit your tank to it.
Petco seems to have this on sale for around $95 on a semi-regular basis. That was what I paid for the inferior Top Fin stand. It's great deal for great product."

Great Decision
|
Date: February 22, 2008

"I was looking for a stand for a 55 gallon tank. All the stands I found were really ugly. The doors protuded out. They even had ugly wood panels or the doors. This stand is great. The picture doesn't do the stand justice. The doors are flush against the front panels of the stand using magnets to open and close doors. The finish is wonderful. Very expensive looking stand. Clean is Simple."

Great Product
|
Date: January 29, 2008

"This stand is very stable and actually looks better than what the picture portrays. It was very easy to put together and all parts fit exactly how they should have. The only recommendation I would have to improve this product would be a middle shelf for extra storage room. This is a great product and after a friend of mine saw it they bought one of their own to replace a stand they had."

"I love the stand that we just purchased for our daughter for Christmas. We were looking for a tank that was say 20 gallons, but saw this stand and ended up getting it. We love the look of it and the fact that it is real WOOD.
Everyone that sees it asks us where we purchased it.
Great buy and classy look."

"I was impressed with the quality of this item considering the price I paid. Assembly was a breeze, and the assembled product genuinely looks better than the picture on the website. I like the powder coated surface, now I don't have to worry if I spill a little water while doing water changes. Now I have to see how much the 20 gallon stands cost..."

"Put it together myself in @40 minutes. Very easy to assemble. The stand feels very sturdy with and without water in the tank. The doors swing open for storage below the unit. The finish of the product looks great. The stand looks better in person then its picture on the website. Recommended."

What a great value!!!

"I had limited space and limited money. This stand solved both of those problems for me. It doesn't extend way beyond the tank size and it was very affordable. It is extremely well made. There are no areas of the wood exposed. It is completely encased in the powder coat with helps keep water out. I wasn't sure if it had doors on the front, the photo doesn't do it justice. IT HAS DOORS!!! A place to store fish stuff. I LOVE it!!!! Thank you Petco!!"
