Cool Stacked Tables??

Does anyone have any pictures of "stacked" tort tables. Ive been pricing them up and there expensive to buy, so hubby is gonna make me some in the new year. New homes for everybody . By which time the quarantine period for the new torts will be closer so i can have them all in the same room

Just looking for some ideals on how to do it, because i wanna go BIG

I can't find any pics or links of stacked tort tables right now, but I have seen them!
From comments owners have made, I believe a couple of issues come up: having enough space between them, so that you can attend to cleaning, etc., and there is enough clearance for lighting.
Some suggested the lower table have a hinged front so you can access it.
One had the lower table on castors so the could pull it out.

I love these tables too. My husband has built all our tables for us and this is on the list for him to do when the yearlings need separating. I'm hoping the two females will share nicely, but I doubt Oscar and Theo will share, so the plan is for hubby to build twin tables and Theo's current table will go in the cellar, ready and waiting for when the kids are all grown up and I can have my tortoise room!!!

I think these are fab

Just the sort of thing i need. I need 3 tables really but im sure a 4th will come in handy

Are they very strong when fill with soil and stones etc

How much would these cost if you were to make them again and what size are they. Im looking for Big. Want around 6ft by 4ft plus

I recognise that lounge .......These are my tables that stuart made for me

They are very strong, sturdy and well put together and hold up fine with all the soil, rocks n pebbles, slate tile etc that i have popped in.
Also finished to a high standard.
