I'm wondering if this would be sturdy enough to hold a 20 gallon fish tank on top?

This would be sturdy enough to hold a 20 gallon fish tank. If you have read the reviews you notice that it is a pain to put together. We are happy with it but the quaility is not the best. It will last maybe 5 years.

I think so. I can sit on top of it and I wiegh about 16 gallons. But I thought the product itself was kinda sub standard- then again I was looking for wood and not particle board.

Yes, I think it would be sturdy enough to hold a 20 gallon tank as long as the chest is put together well. It does take a long time to assemble but once it's set it is a very strong piece of furniture. I have been very pleased with it.

20 gallons = 166.6lbs. I could see it collapsing under the weight of the tank. At the very least, it would warp/crack the dresser. I wouldn't recommend this dresser to begin with since I ended up throwing it away.

I do not really think it would.... it is made of recycled fiber materials which are not that sturdy.

I would say no. I thought this product was junk. It certainly wasnt what they said as holding up to 20 lbs.

I use mine to hold a bird feeder. Seems sturdy enough to hold a lot more weight.

Yes. I believe it will hold that weight. its very sturdy built. I think it would even hold an old style tube monitor which are very heavy.

I don't think so. It is a sturdy table for the money, but I would recommend a metal stand for your fish tank as they are designed for that kind of weight.

I think that if you use the side pieces along with the racks it should be sturdy enough. The side pieces help to keep it steady. I only had room for two without the side parts, where I was putting it, but I did see this with multiple sets before I bought mine.

It would hold a terrarium of about the same size as the top. It is not a flimsy piece of furniture.

I can't answer that for certain because I only set reptile cages without water on it. What I can say is that there is only about 19 inches available from side to side between the uprights (and 22" up and down), and so a 20" tank wouldn't fit on the bottom (just the top). The stand is reasonably sturdy so I wouldn't be afraid to put a fish tank or two on it, but it wouldn't fit two standard 10's.

Assuming you're talking about the larger stand, I would say it shouldn't be a problem. I had a 10gal tank for the smaller stand. Since the stand is heavy wrought iron, I was never concerned about it tipping over. I put plexiglass in the shelves, but that was more for aesthetics. It is quite sturdy. I you match the tank with the appropriate stand, you should have no worries.

Although it is pretty sturdy it might get top heavy but as long as there is weight on the bottom you should be fine.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give the overall unit an 8 for sturdiness. HOWEVER, having grown up with a father who has a fondness for fish, I'd worry more about the height/depth of the unit. I don't have a fish tank handy, but in my mind, a 12G tank is deeper than the unit is. Also, the total height with the fish tank might be too much without bolting the unit to the wall. Lastly, the support for the top of the unit is all on the right and left edges. There is a middle plank, but that acts more like a partition for the top two shelves rather than a central support beam. If you have a tank with a evenly dispersed base, it might work...but I think it's still a 50/50 endeavor either way. Hope this helps.

I think it should be sturdy enough to hold a cat's weight. The topper itself isn't attached to the tank in any way though, it just kind of sits on top. I don't know if that would be a problem, but most likely not.

Yes it is definitely sturdy enough. I currently just have a decanter on top, but could easily hold several liquor bottles.

Yes it would be sturdy enough, however you would need to be very careful about spills as it does not have a sealed finish and would probably stain fairly easily.

This stand is built for a 10 to 20 gal tank maximum. Larger tanks would be to heavy for the weight of the stand.

Not sure about a weight limit but it has no problem supporting my 65 gallon tank.

It is very sturdy, but what size fish tank are you talking about? Will you stack 2 shelves or use just one? I guess it could hold about 100# or so. Hope it works out.
