PERFECT FOR MY TERRARIUM!!!
So I wanted to create a terrarium and I couldnât find a clear display coffee table. This table worked out perfectly. It was very easy to setup and it didnât take long at all. It looks absolutely beautiful and I love that itâs metal. It has two doors to put items in and itâs tempered glass as well. I definitely recommend this table for all purposes.

Excellent Habitat with a Little Thought
I use this table for my Costa Rican poison dart frogs. I was worried about the weight of the soil and rocks so used green floral foam under the rocks to lighten the load, plantings are in regular 13X9″ glass cake pans for easy watering without leaks, silicone keeps the rocks from falling out when I open the doors, and I plugged up the two holes in the back. There is no gap between my doors but there is where the hinges are. Black weather stripping blends right in to keep small critters where they belong. There is about a half inch gap at the top for ventilation. My frogs don’t jump high or climb so not an issue for me. Stands up to my Newfoundland constantly beating it with his tail so far and gets bumped A LOT when my dogs play. It is more sturdy than it looks but not sure I would let a small child play around it.

Worth the cost!
I didnât read the instructions thoroughly when I started assembly, so I had to take off and move the legs a couple times. But once itâs together itâs sturdy! Iâm using it as a terrarium type table for my needy plants. There are gaps for airflow but Iâll also open the doors every so often. Each plant is in its own pot, you wouldnât be able to use the table as a planter without some serious adjustments. But itâs really nice and I love it! I added an LED for some easy night time viewing.

Spacious and fictional, but…
I won’t lie: this wasn’t what I had in mind for a display coffee table, but I couldn’t find any wooden types available at the time. I was nervous about this much glass being shipped, but it came very securely packaged with nothing damaged. It took me about an hour to assemble the whole thing.For the most part, everything is as I hoped it would be… except the doors. They’re so heavy, they repeatedly slipped out of their hardware. And although this is clearly tempered glass, I was fearful of turning the screws much tighter for fear of cracking it. They definitely need a redesign for the doors that doesn’t involve tension on the glass.It’s a nice looking unit with plenty of space to display whatever you want. I would NOT recommend this to anyone with children or people who treat their furnishings mindlessly. I doubt this piece will last, and its biggest weakness IS those doors. They absolutely will NOT take any extra tugging or weight.I can’t for the life of me understand why they mention fish in the description. This is not watertight in any sense of the word, and it’s not sturdy enough to hold anything more than a fishbowl, so please don’t buy it for that.

Best price on the internet.
Wow, this is a very good product. Very easy to put together. We searched all over the place for this and this was the best deal. I saw multiple of these on Walmart, Target, overstock, Etc. They are all exactly the same dimensions and descriptions but rebranded. This was the best one in terms of price. Metal does have a silver distressed look so if you’re not into that you would want to steer away or paint it black before you assemble it. There are gaps between the glass in the metal so if you’re planning to put sand or rocks in it, you might have to get creative. It is a pretty good centerpiece for my kids Lego sets.

Everything about this is a nightmare
Normally I can handle picture directions very well … sometimes it take a couple tries, but overall not too hard with reliable pictures. This is simply a disaster. I had it almost all together and then had to resemblance over 3X! The legs are off balance which makes it a real pain to put the top frame in, and it’s incredibly unstable, especially for live animals. The glass doesn’t fit snuggly in before putting the top in either, so highly recommend not doing it alone in case a glass piece falls. I’ve been working on this thing for 2 days. I keep getting frustrated. I’m at the front door part. The front glass panels DO NOT slide in to fit, as picture shows. I’m terrified I’m going to break the thin glass. I may have to take all the glass walls off and use a hammer to fix the mistakes to get the front glass doors to slide in. Oh, and 2 of the 4 pieces of glass came with scratch marks, one which is atleast 5″ long! That I was going to let slide…until I noticed how much of a pain this is. Not worth the money at all. I was using this as a memorial for my dog that just passed away, but I’m terrified to put his ashes in this, and it’s highly disappointing. I give 1 star because yes, it’s exactly as pictured…if I could get it all together.

Very nice piece.
This was easy to assemble.Do not tighten all your screws until last, so you make sure everything is lined up.The glass is solid, I had read some reviews that it was thin, this is not the case.I did paint it, as my wife wanted it to match the existing theme in my daughters room.We are using it as a gecko enclosure for about 4 months now without any issues.I was on the fence after reading some of the reviews and not knowing if it would work for our purposes, but its fine. Made the right decision and would buy again for sure.

Not thrilled. Keeping it because I can’t take it apart again.. I’m done!
Hard to assemble. The door is pretty uneven.Assemble instructions leave some key points out of the document.

Fits my Batmobile a treat, ( as recommended by others that bought this model).
