    Depends on where you do your carpentry, some places such as coral reefs does their cabinets using very solid wood that are resistance to water, much less humidity.

    Maybe can use stainless steel as the stand and then use wood work to cover it

    Yes, it is important to make sure that the cabinet is able to support the tank . Having iron/steel frame below the tank would help to ensure that. A 4 ft tank will weight about 400Kg !!!

    When making cabinets, check for the supporting frame below the tank. Some carpenters, to cut cost, will leave out that extra supporting beam at the bottom. So do take note. Check to see if NA's cabinets have or not.

    actually, my personal preference is to use chengai wood but it's expensive though...so it depends on your budget.
