so interesting! the wood looks kind of "soft" though.. what if the weight causes the stand to eat into the wood over the months? if this works, we just found an alternative to expensive stands.. if it doesn't, we're a step closer in the right direction.

Bro, unless the flat top is made of solid one piece of wood & not some compressed pulp.

TS go find/buy a used cabinet/stand for yr tank, cause after few mths or years of water change some water may drip or trap inside the "ikea" wood(u never know). The tank may drop/fall(no joke)
Just my 2cents |

That's a Low profile metal stand(height wise u must go check), ask wee yang from N30 or other tank maker for quote(if u want new ones) or search for used ones from forum(cheaper way).
