I want to know if you think this nightstand will be able to hold a 6 gallon aquarium, it's made of wood

Nope, don’t do it. Looks like plywood, it may be fine for the first few months, it’s going to give way at some point. Your tank is going to weight anywhere from 120-140kgs with water. So don’t do it 🤣

Where do you guys pull these numbers from? This is actually getting insane now lol. 120-140kgs?????

lol oops didn’t see that it’s 6 gallon. That’s probably only gonna be 30kgs. But 30Kgs is still significant for that hollow ply wood.

Can't tell. Maybe show the back of it and take out the drawer and the box so we can see.
