"I have this stand for about 2+ weeks as of now so there is only so much I can say about it. Slick looking aquarium stand for a condo that does not look all bulky and stuff. I am no expert of durability on this subject but I can only hope that the 8 beams hold up my aquarium for eons and that the weight is evenly distributed on it. So basicially the stand looks good without looking all huge and it better support the tank on it."
