A 5.5" per side wedge should do it, right? Finishing the cabinet with a skin would work too.
I completely agree.

Such stands could easily be beefed up by skinning and/or framing to add lateral support, but seeing that we're talking building stands I'd be more inclined to build something better to begin with like the example shown in your link.
