I know that there has to be something useful out there that I can do with this stand, but I am drawing a blank. It is one of the old heavy metal stands. We no longer have the aquarium, but I am not ready to part with the stand. Any suggestions?
What about a plant stand? Maybe you could find a basket that fits in the frame? You could paint it a bright color and have plants that send long tendrils down creeping down the side :) Props for reusing something instead of just trashing it!! If you can't find a good use now, save it for another day :)
Have a piece of glass cut the size of the bottom of the fish tank. Make sure you go to a glass store that finishes the sides like a table top. Then you have and end table, shelf, what ever you want to use it for.
Yup marble or granite would look great too, just a bit more expensive. What doesn't look good is finished wood. It just looks like you finished a piece of wood and put it on top of a fish tank stand. For some reason the other surfaces look normal.
Or what Jo W said using a piece of marble or granite instead.
Table
Lemonade stand
Art table
Tool table (like for a chopsaw)
Ball / outdoor toy holder
Planter box
Chest (surface + cushion = attractivr storage and seating)
Use your imagintation. Drape something over it. Use it for plants. I'm sure it's uses are endless if you really put your mind to it.
