The dimensions of the table are bigger than the tank, so there wouldnt be any hanging over
Does state that it could be used as a tv stand, but dont know what tv they have in mind

Ive had Lack furniture in the past, I dont know how big your tank is but personally I wouldnt trust a tank on a Lack coffee table! Its bot even particle board, its honeycomb of paper sandwiched between thin layers of particleboard!

I personally would be OK with putting 70ish kilos on it. However something like this would be far safer.

Ah just read that its a 60L tank, still wouldnt risk it myself but that may just be me!

Lol, it's defineatly a risk

I wish in gave me a weight. Ive read that i should allow 1kg to 1litre. Does this sound right
I know the end table from this range will hold 25kg

Dont do pine dont want a cupboard either, as i already have one in the living room ( a lack one)

one litre of water is one kilogram, but then add the decorations substrate and actual tank, your talking 70 ish

 

[danele]

I wont use decorations if it means my table

What about the Expedit stuff? Would it fit on one of those?

 

[danele]

expedit only has one shelving unit that isnt huge, max load 13kg a shelf. Vika has a table top that has max load of 50kg.
Its hopeless

i had one of these at uni in our living room, when a lass got on it to start dancing (during a party) the table instantly failed, she weighed less than 70kg

i would not trust it at all in my opinion

No way, don't risk it. I have a smaller version of this and it is not stable at all, although when a table costs a fiver brand new you get what you pay for!

 

[danele]

It looks like the juwel stand then, no where for my cuppa to stand!
