That is one very well built stand. That tank isn't going anywhere.

Do be careful with water left sitting on the MDF it has a tendency to expand with moisture, however it does paint up nice.

That came out very nice, I would be inclined to keep the matte finish look.

It is going to be a matte finish.....but that's just a tinted primer thats on there....the next coat is going to be double espresso (very dark brown almost black) so it will match my wifes kitchen table set.
