So fast to assemble. Took me more time to unpack the contents of the box. set it up in my grow tent, provides 18 inches clearance from the bottom of your tray to the floor. You can add some bed risers (or a cinder-block or wood block) if you want to boost it up higher. I'd go for the later since it would be more durable than a plastic riser. Anyway, glossy, powder coated. Assembles and disassembles in seconds. Right now the 2x4 tray Hydrofarm HGFT24 2-Foot by 4-Foot Black Flood Tray Table is holding 50Liters of Hydroton, up to 15 gallons of water, and some tender seedlings. The stand just sits there and says "I can handle it." This is my go-to product if I was ever to ramp up my grow room to the next level. (Thank you Everest Fernandez for the mention of this product in your great youtube videos). A must have for serious indoor hydro-systems.
