This is EXACTLY what I want my stand to look like! clean but not too boring! Is that just painted plywood??

It is Birch plywood and Birch trim Gel Stained.
Pictures are hard to capture the grain in the wood.

Here's a DIY tank I made for my 56g bowfront tank.

It has glass inserts with frosted tint to match background. Side grommets to lead out 2 sets of lily pipes.

Here's my newest addition.
A scaled down version of my 120gal Arts and Crafts Stand for my new Fluval M60 setup.

I still need to build the doors, but we are almost done

Looks good.

Not my stand but IMO one of the most beautiful stands ever built. Simple, but just beautiful. Check out the guys build here.

WOW!!! That Sassafras is incredible! I love the natural look. I used an ebony macassar veneer on the stand for a 20" Reef Savvy cube I had several years ago. I'm about to setup a 180g and really want to use an ebony macassar veneer on that stand, that I still need to build, but probably won't because of the cost of that veneer.

OMG! Thanks for answering!! I looked through the whole photoshop album so I saw what I could. It looks amazing! I'm seriously going to work hard to base mine off of yours. I don't know what Gel Stained means, but I'll figure it out! Thanks for answering! Feel free to give me any more secrets and tips to making one as gorgeous as that!!

Oh yes, blackheart sassafras has such a beautiful grain and color to it. The same goes for ebony macassar. I'd love to build a stand like that Exotic woods really vamp up the price but if you can afford it...it just makes all the difference.

That might literally be the most beautiful stand I've ever seen. wow.

My thoughts exactly

 

[Cdodge1]

Here's my stand that I built...not exactly "fancy" but I think it looks pretty good. Here's my build thread if you want to see the progress.

Not sure if this is considered fancy but here is my homemade stand from rough cut cherry wood.

Since the pic I added door handles. It is for sale.
