Isn't it better to have aquarium stand WITH legs?

I was just wondering why most aquarium stands don't have legs - if you do spill/leak it's so much easier to clean up after...just keep clean in general, come to think on it...

Wouldn't it be much easier for levelling too?

It easier to level and clean under but those small feet are hard on carpets and some laminated flooring.

What if you stood it on rubber coasters?

I like the look of my wood stands much much more than the iron stands with legs.

I actually don't mind the iron stands, but they need to update the look a bit...

My favourite stand is the dresser...two drawers hold all the fish stuff and it's on legs, so nice to clean under...

The only thing I don't like is that it looks like an aquarium sitting on a dresser, and I'd prefer it to look more like an aquarium on an aquarium stand...

A solid surface to distribute the weight more evenly is much stronger than legs.

I agree. I wouldn't want the legs.

The legs could break and I like to store fish supplies in the stand.

I like being able to conceal all my equipment. I have seen some iron stands that are rigged up with a smaller tank underneath and that looks pretty cool.
