I purchased it product to put a 55-gallon aquarium on it for my turtle. It was easy to put the parts themselves together, however when I tried to put the whole stand together, I ran into problems. So, I began to think like man and started putting it together beginning with the top instead of the working from the bottom up as they suggested, and I was able to put it together with no problems. It is very difficult to follow the instructions because all the pieces are not labeled in the instructions. I was able to put it together by myself. However, once I got to the drawer, I became very disappointed because the drawer insert is smaller than the drawer itself. I have contacted the manufacturer for a replacement.
