Disclaimer....
Warning...if using for aquariums or around water or any moisture or liquid of any form.... Use another material other than the particle board included in kit. I state...I post this as an idea, suggestion, alternative for the use as a aquarium stand. As with any idea...do research and use common sense or your own idea. I also state I don't know everything, nor do I claim I know anything about anything in the past, present nor the future. For any other concerns...above idea is to be treated as fiction or hear-say. Also stated..I have not used this..so I bare no claim as to the function or out come by using item other than what is stated by manufacturer for sole use. So, use with caution. No animals were hurt during the process of this statement...so keeping that in mind. Use something other than particle board as the shelving material. I would not want you to use below item and in doing so...cause any harm to yourself or others, or any or all of your livestock by using the particle board as shelving. So, on second thought...forget I had anything to do with this posting and that you ever saw it. Have a nice day.

Amendment to disclaimer: I have nothing against particle board or it's manufacturers or supporters....it has it's uses. I from personal experiences, having had particle board get wet, swell and fall apart. I've learned to use solid wood when it's use will lead to it getting wet upon. Stating this I do not have any monetary reason or will get monetary gain form any wood manufacturers or their supporters from stating that solid wood is better than particle board....just that in this single idea, the use of solid wood would be a better material to use for shelving in this instance, at this time for aforementioned reason of purpose of use. I also state.....that the bases of the "idea" will not, nor is it implied that it has or will or is any cure of anything in the past, present or the future or possibility of said future. But if said "idea" does cure anything..it is just by chance of circumstances beyond control at present time or is it past time?
