55g stand build ( yes another stand build lol )

Ok Reef Central DIYers!!
So this will be my first saltwater aquarium ever !!! I'm super excited to start this build. But first, I had to start with buying my tank of course...nothing special it's an all glass aquarium masters 55 gallon only the bottom is tempered so I will be drilling the back Anyway, enough about the tank because this thread is about my stand that I built and just want to share with everyone the process and how I built mine just incase anyone is curious to build one themselves. So the dimensions for my stand is:
49" 1/2 x 13" 3/4 x 34"
I'm not finished with the stand yet because I wanted some opinions from you guys on how I should do the doors. I want the stand to look modern in case that helps. Alright so here are a few pictures!!

Oh and let me just say that this is my first time building a stand...or anything for that matter. And I am not by any means a woodworker or carpenter lol just an artist lol

So here is the skeleton of the stand..
I used 8 feet long 2x4s approximately 8, and 2 1/2 inch screws.
