Is this stand safe for a 60 gallon tank?

Hi,

I'm thinking about downsizing slightly into 2 smaller tanks, a IM SR-60, and a Waterbox Peninsula 25.
There is a IM SR-60 on Facebook Marketplace with all equipment, tank and a stand. However, I'm not sure whether the stand is going to be able to support a full 60 gallon tank in addition to the aquascape.
It doesn't look like the stand is meant for the tank, it's very similar to one I had for my 30 gallon freshwater, and even then, I was concerned about the integrity of the stand.

Also wondering (and I hate these questions), whether a very sturdy wooden chest of drawers would be able to support a 60 gallon? It would have a similar amount of tank off the edge of the drawers, but is far more robust seeming. I have previously kept a 40 gallon freshwater tank on it with no worries, but I don't know.
Dimensions of chest of drawers - 33.46'' (85cm) L
- 15.74'' (40cm) W
