good or bad?

hey ya'll! I had all these great rocks that came with my tank...so my son and I decided to pile them up...they are very sturdy and do not move AT ALL..since I have a pretty tall tank,we were trying to find a way to get different levels for the beardie to bask on and still use these rocks(which all have been cleaned)and without spending all kinds of money on some of the store ones...do you think this is gonna work? my tank is 19" high..so if you have any suggestions for a better use of these rocks..please let me know.. the rest of my setup stuff(lighting and so on) is on order and I'll post a pic of the final setup before we get our baby...thanks!
Here is a couple of pics..one is an outside view and one is an inside view..oh and in case your curious..that's ceramic tile on the bottom:

Only thing I would watch for is that rock with the hole in it...I can see bearded dragons going in and out of that hole and finally when too big, getting stuck...might be a good ideal to bury that rock so the hole is not accessible.

Other than that, and providing the pile remains very stable, it is good as a multilayer basking area. Just put other spots inside the cage as well..as all those rocks are against the side wall, and your basking light will have to be right over the center of it, to serve as a good basking area.

It will be easier to judge once you have all the cage furniture set up.
