Hi Frogeye, I have been really pleased with this type of table, it arrives flatpacked takes around 10 mins to assemble and is quite a sturdy construction, the tray sits nice and safely in the runners and can easily be removed for cleaning, the bars along the top enable you to position the lamp where you choose, plenty of depth to the sides, wheels on bottom for easy positioning and a mesh panel to enclose the tray to protect from dogs etc.

I paid £84 for medium sized table (4ft x 2ft ) and £8.00 for delivery charge. If I had choosen a wooden table of this size the price would be around the same, but if I had enough time on my hands cheapest way is to make a wooden one. but all things considered these tables are great value for money

one point to mention is be carefull filling this type of table with a sand/soil mix, this is because the weight can cause the plastic sides of the tray to split which has happened to somebody else who has one of these tables.

but using a light substrate such as aubiose hemp will leave you with no problems and you can still put trays of sand/soil to give your torts the option.

I think its down to personal choice, Mollbags and I also have a wooden table which we like very much as its natural wood.

Hi Katie, it costs £8.00 to deliver a medium sized table maybe slightly more for the largest size, send Dazza (kimbos Reptile World) a pm for delivery charge and hes up for a pricematch if you find one cheaper anywhere else.

Surrey Pet Supplies are good on prices. Can't remember what the exact price was now but if a price match can be made then it's worth checking out
I have this table but it is currently in storage as I don't have my tort yet.

Thats where I work - heres a link to the tables
Tortoise Tables

We use them for our torts and I think they are the best option available

What a coincidence!!
I got my table from you and it was here the next day Was very impressed.

That Table Looks great but I'm not rich enough to buy one what with the price of the blulbs and the tortoise itself

I'm just going to build a wooden one with a total cost of just £20 (without bulbs etc)

PS: sorry about the green LoL
