Aquarium stand /table

Hi,

This one is quiet weird. I am running out of place to set up my new 10 gallon and hav finally decided to keep it on one of my wooden drawer chest.

Do you think it will hold the weight of a planted tank??? please see the link for product info...

Again sorry for this weird querry, just that i dont want my tank coming down one fine day. Thanks.

I don't see why it wouldn't hold it. Plus, it's only 10g, so that's not too much weight. I wouldn't worry at all.

Just don't get water on the particle board. It will fall right apart. I think it's constructed like laminate counter tops. If that's the case, you shouldn't have much of a problem.

A gallon of water weighs close to 8lbs. if i remember correctly. 8x10=80lbs in water only. If it was a tank of water only.
Description says must be secured to a wall with mounting devises. If you bolt it to a wall you could probally place 150lbs+ on top without any worries.
