Ikea kallax as an aquarium stand?

One issue is that while the design of Ikea stuff hasn’t changed much over the years, the materials have. I’ve seen particle board shelves replaced with cardboard composite sheets, with a reduction in weight rating. It’s a sustainability thing.

However, that’s not to say it’s not still worth a go if you take the necessary precautions.
 
I run a hydro prime 10 on each cube. The cabinet is pulled away a bit from the wall, the filter sits on the bottom shelf at the back, as the taps are at an angle they fit perfectly pointing in the right direction
