Inserts are 3/4" cherry plywood with light stain.
Total cost for materials was about $300.

Working on a matching floating box that will hang about 10-12"
above Aq. and hide lights for nice "open top" look

I really like this one! And, it can be made from wood to give the same appearance. The necessary bracing could be hidden under the panels. Now, I wish I needed a stand.
