Show me your Custom Cabinetry. I Need some Ideas!

[Ashish Patel]

So setting up my dream tank and not sure on how I am going to skin my 400G tank. I do know that I will have at least a 18" tall canopy and preferably inset cabinet doors. I really like the look of my office desk (see pic) but doubt I can pull of this look for my stand. I am sure I can take some inspiration from my desk but not sure how a canopy would work with this design.

I love both Modern and Traditional and I want to build something truly unique.

My BIG question is do you plan on having all the equipment under the tank and inside the stand? If so, then doors need to be large and possibly even removable panels rather than doors. You will need access to all that gear.

Maybe I shouldve been more specific. I am looking for ideas how to add non-structural cabinetry to the steel stand and wood canopy that looks custom. I may just have to look at kitchen island ideas and maybe add some cool panels to the side.

I used a bit and magnets. Ill take pics tomorrow.

Has anyone used white oak wood veneer to make a stand and canopy?
Id be pretty happy if I could pull of this look:

A little bit of decorative trim goes a long way imo

Also, a lot of decorative trim will go a long way too
