I’m really looking forward to this one. Outstanding work so far, never seen an unfinished wood stand look so nice, and finished.

Im loving the wood two tone, and if it were up to me I’d replicate that pattern by painting the bottom moulding dark... and maybe even around the doors. But that’s just me. Carry on!
 
This build is coming along beautifully!
 
the stand looks great with the bottom painted dark, good call. can't wait to see the controller cabinet all wired up and finished!

So I went ahead and added 2" casters to the stand; unfortunately, on the carpet it's a bit unstable due to small contact area. I'm thinking I'll be taking them off and matching the base to the main cabinet out of 2x4 scrap I have left.

Oh well, had to try it.
