Penn Plax

Has anybody had any experience with Penn Plax tanks?

They look like the Exo-terra styled tanks, but Penn Plax makes one with dimensions that would fit perfectly on my shelf (page 2, the 32" x 19").

This would be used for something other than a BP, but I want to know people's thoughts about the quality of the manufacturer.

Since we started carrying these, several staff members have used them, and each of the stores has had at least one model used in-store for several months. Love them! They look super nice, they're not hard to put together (even I could put one together, and I am horribly incompetent at building things), and are extremely durable.

The only negative that I know is that the wood is not well sealed for excessive moisture. If there is too much standing water, especially if you are attempting a vivarium style enclosure, it will be begin to slowly warp the wood. I have not tried treating the wood with a sealant or protective coating and then turning it into a vivarium, but since that type of method works for other kinds of unusual decorative cages I imagine it'd work well here.

These cages just plain look a little nicer, in my opinion, although the model you're looking at isn't the solid wood ones which are so fancy lookin.
