Archaea Aquarium Cabinet

[JayP]

I've seen several in the community mention purchasing an Archaea cabinet. I just recently purchased the 60x45 "Assembly Required" version in the Driftwood color and assembled it yesterday evening. It went together quite quickly without even downloading the instructions. I gotta say, I think it's absolutely a good option, if you're not wanting to build a cabinet yourself, but gag at the high cost of other aquarium cabinets sold by the high-end tank brands. I considered the slightly more expensive pre-built model, but it's cost doesn't include the freight shipping. Since this will be going in my living room, I didn't want to take chances on my own build and finishing skill. I think I made the right choice.

I almost got this before I realized that I am going down the path of mts. They are at similar cost to UNS.

How is the wood finished to give it a color?

Unfortunately it's a virus and there's no cure.

It looks just like the one in the link.

It has a melamine veneer, like most other stands in this price range.

I did not.

I assume this was a code they provided to those at the show, because I haven't seen it advertised anywhere. I am likely to buy some more stuff though. Was hoping they would be offering a discount at the show for sales there. Was thinking about getting a DOOA Cell to go with the Shizuku I'll be bringing home.
