This review is from: Ameriwood 29-Gallon Aquarium Stand (Kitchen)

This stand looks very stylish, is sturdy, and blends very well with my antique style furniture. It has to be assembled and the assembly instructions were very clear even though I don't do this type of things very often. However, some parts (cam locks and compression dowels) are made of plastic and some actually broke on me as I was lifting and moving the elements around during the assembly. So I ended up removing all of them and buying new metal ones at Home Depot, which I recommend doing instead of using the flimsy plastic parts.

I was disappointed to find out that the stand was made of particle board and not wood - assume that if it doesn't say 'wood' in the product description, it isn't one. That was a bit of a challenge for me because some of the pre-drilled screw holes became loose and did not really hold the screws tightly, especially the small screws on the doors - so I used wood glue to fill them up and then re-inserted the screws when the glue had dried a bit - and that helped. Also, some parts are not made quite even - the bottom support was too wide and the stand wobbled on assembly. I had to file it to make it even. In the end, I put more assembly work into it than I'd thought I would.

All that being said, the stand has been in use under a 29-gallon tank since 2009 without any problems. I like the small shelves inside which you can position at different heights. The back of the stand has a large height-long vertical opening in the middle, which can be used to connect tubing and cables. I have covered some of the opening to prevent things from falling off behind the shelves. It can be a good stand, but only if you fix the assembly glitches.
