Beautiful Stands in Standard Sizes? (40 breeder)

[wpeterson]

We've gotten settled back on the east coast and I picked up a nice 40 breeder display tank. I'm planning to drill it and install a synergy reef overflow.

However, I haven't found many nice cabinet/stands around the area. For our last tank, I got lucky with a beautiful cherry finished DSA stand which I'm slightly kicking myself for selling now.

Any advice for buying tank stands with furniture grade finishes online or ordering? Basic googling hasn't gotten me that far. I'm not looking for a full custom stand - just some nice, high quality stands in standard sizes for a 40 Breeder (36x18 or 36x24 tank footprint).

Man, I wish I could just whip you up something really quick. Too bad shipping would probably make it cost prohibitive.

I'm still looking around for options. Someone in the Boston club has a Deep Blue Pro Series I stand for sale used very cheap, so I may go that route:

I thought I read some mixed reviews on these cabinets in the past - does anyone have a personal experience to share?

those deep blue stand are very sturdy.
I used that stand on my 58g tank back in 2011, I even modified by making the middle piece removable.
So yes go for it.
