Looks good, but I'd be worried about the strength. I personally like to overbuild my stands.

great craftmanship, but I would be a little worried about strength as well.

A coat of high gloss poly should go the trick for looks...

As far as strength, No earthquakes, no big issues likely in a year or two, but I too am one to overbuild. I put more into a 55g stand.

Are the front corners & center posted like the back? its hard to tell....

It has the sealer on it only that i took the pictures with my phone and thats why you cant see how good the color came out. Yeah it has posts at the front too.

Looks good. Nice paint job, but as most have stated...the strength of that stand makes me feel queasy. :nilly:

Also from the pictures you posted, I don't see an front brace except the plywood. Unless you have the braces for the front further in, instead of the corner where the two sheets of plywood meet. :confused:
