Suggestions on AP Stands / Cabinets

[ckuhn003]

Anyone have some good suggestions on a stand or cabinet to place an AP T10 (or any sizable enclosure) on top of? I've searched this site and coming up empty. I'd like something that was somewhat visually appealing rather then a table from a hardware store. It's been a little hard finding something to support a cage 23-24 inches deep. Seems like the standard size is 16.4 inches. Thanks!

Mine from my pictures in the previous post came from Ikea. It's actually an entertainment center.

Since its all modular you have a lot of options in color and drawers or doors, shelves etc. I had to buy two of the main units because the t10 is so deep and just stacked them together then put doors on the front. The t10 still hangs over about 1/2 inch on each side and there is about 3 inches of extra space in front and back of the t10. I left one open shelf that would normally be for AV components and that's where I put the Herpstat along with my xbox and DVD player since it sits under the tv hanging on the wall of our bedroom.

It's not the exact size but I think it looks great and gives cabinets to store stuff in.

I use restaurant wire shelves on casters so I can get behind the cages easily when necessary. Webstauraunt.com has 4’x2’ shelves in a few different colors. I used all black when I only had the two T8s set up. Had to go chrome for 72”x30” when I set up my T25 because I couldn’t find any other color

This is what I'll be using for my T-10 when I get one. It's an entertainment center that someone in my apartment complex left by the dumpster. The top is too narrow, but The Container Store has a melamine desk top that I'll just use to replace this one. I can put my Herpstat on one of the shelves, and my scale, extra tub, and hair dryer in the cabinet.

Thrift stores and garage sales can be your friend if you can find a bench, table, or entertainment center of the right dimensions. Probably the least expensive route, if you get lucky.

That's an interesting option that I might explore. Appreciate the suggestion

I love the look of that stand. The url you listed is no longer functional. I believe that this is their new url: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/shelving.html

I do have a membership to Costco and I'm assuming you are referring to this one. Super nice but the depth is only 19 inches and the AP cage is around 23.

We have both a 4x2 coffee table (screenshot below) and an industrial shelving unit. I like the looks of the coffee table better, and once we switch to PVC we'll probably use that over the shelves - unless we can get the PVC to fit within the shelving brackets, lol.

Shoot, I linked to the wrong coffee table, but the one we ordered is similar, just a bit wider and longer.
