Aquatic Fundamentals Black Scroll Aquarium Stand

I have to change everything I said before and give a warning to anyone considering this stand--DO NOT BUY IT. Just go to petco's site and youll see all the reviews. I just spent 2 hours on the phone with petco telling them about my experience--which isnt unique.

Well, theres a pesky little problem you will encounter before even getting this tank done--Before I noted that the tank has holes for nuts to go through and be assembled. Well, I forced them in. BIG MISTAKE. Everything appeared fine. It just took, y/know, like 3 hours to get together.

Also, the braces that were included were wrong sized. They were just too short. Well, we left them off--no big deal. WRONG.

So, the tank just "wobbled" a little. Maybe it was just needing some weight to settle. At about 35 gallons in--we were right. It did "settle." Then...

I had to move the tank up a little and all we heard was *snap.* hmmm...We moved back, the stand was LEANING. it looked ready to fall right over. We emergency removed all the water, readjusted the tank, and tried again. It leaned even MORE.

This "wobble" is a flaw in the very structure. Ive contacted petco and Im praying they recall-and investigate who is making the stands and seeing to it they are safe. Unfortunately with such a large tank its not so easy to tell if something is structurally sound until you test it. I tested it, and it wasn't. Im telling you--this thing was inches away from not only cracking my tank-but killing my cat, my nephew--and me!

Yes, I assembled it as "right" as I could given the defects. Yes, my tank is set up correct. Even knowing it might be a defective batch--that is NEVER a risk I am willing to take again with this stand. Its pretty, but it just does not work. Theres too many reviews of "wobbliness" around for anyone who really cares about their tank or loved ones to even consider this product.

Dont make my mistake. Either invest in the manhattan for $5 more or check out diy projects.

EDIT-after getting into a HUGE tiff with Marco Group, Inc (product manufacturer) which led all the way up to a report to the CPSC, I can firmly say they will do absolutely ANYTHING to try and downplay complaints regarding this product. Don't fall for any baloney. I contacted them, and guess what? Instead of apologizing for the defects (which is really what I wanted) they denied anyone ever complained about it (though as I said, petco's reviews say different) and implied I was lying/wreckless (over the brace--Yes, stinks on me, I admitted this) so the story altogether wasn't valid. They even threw out that "they tested one and didn't have any issues with it." They never once made any effort to have the product returned to verify defects, but goodness, as soon as I tattle tailed, they just knew all about me!

So when this does collapse on you two years from now, all you will get is someone scrutinizing every single step you did or pointing to the expired warranty.

Very easy to assemble. Had a slight warp when assembled but a little pressure from the fish tank stabilized it. This product is exactly as the previous reviews explain.
