Custom style stands for bigger tanks

[Areseebee]

My wife has ok'd me getting a bigger tank (5-6 foot) but she wants a stand that will go with our furniture, which apparently is "mid century modern". She showed me some examples but I don't think I've ever seen a fish tank stand in a similar style. Are there places that make custom stands? I looked at some examples on glasscages or other similar venues but didn't see anything comparable to what my wife was hoping for.

You could look up local carpenters, I’m sure they can build something satisfactory as long as you’re clear about weight bearing requirements and budget isn’t a big concern

Find a local cabinet shop. They can build anything you need.

I was a custom cabinetmaker for 20 years or so and I built the stand for my 55g back in 1999 which I still have today.

To get into the real mid-century modern, your wife might want a raised cabinet on chrome legs. Look for someone to engineer you a steel stand and then get a cabinetry person to build a cabinet in and around the top. Steel will give you the ability to make more unconventional shapes rather than just a reactangular box.
