Recently I upgraded my chameleon's enclosure to a nice Reptibreeze XL. Unfortunately I discovered after buying it and putting it together that due to its 61x61cm dimensions, it's too big to sit atop my Ikea Lack side table (which is 55x55cm). Because the weight is transferred down through the frame with the plastic bottom sat inside atop that frame, I just ended up putting it over the table instead 
. Not useful.
Thankfully I have a 3D printer, so I modeled a couple of stand/bracket type things to print and attach to the table. After screwing them down onto the table (they're cheap, and it's now the dedicated chameleon location so screwing into it is fine), the Reptibreeze sits atop the table whilst never actually touching it directly. The entire frame overhangs each side a little bit. It also has the side effect of raising it a couple of cm so there's an air gap below, meaning any moisture that might seep down will not fester.
They're the black triangular things. There's several screwed in around the table's edges.
In the (relatively unlikely) event that you too need to put a Reptibreeze XL atop an Ikea Lack table that's a tiny bit too small and you have a 3D printer, check out my brackets on Thingiverse and maybe they'll be useful to you too.
