measures 52 1/2 inches long, 24 inches wide, 48 inches tall, made of non treated yellow pine 2x4's
Think I may have over engineered a bit, but better to be to strong than to weak I always say. Has a total of 100 board feet not counting the sheet of 3/4 inch ply wood. 3 inch wood screws, and some super amazing gorilla glue holding her all together.
Trying to decide on what to skin it with. Maybe birds eye maple, but thats real expensive.
Onto the pics. Sorry I didn't do a step by step picture thread, just put it all together and then took pictures.

Edit : What you can't see because I already installed the bottom plywood is that the bottom sump stand is an exact duplicate of the display stand , just 3 inches narrower for a width of 21 inches instead of 24. Will house a 55 gallon converted sump until I can afford to have a custom made one built.
Wanted all the joints flush so it would be easy to skin later.
