Looking for a good place to buy a stand


I'm in the early process of putting together my ADA 60-P and I'm at the stand stage. I just moved back to Atlanta from San Francisco so I really don't know where to look. I'm looking for a stand. I'm not going for the ADA look. Have a look at the attached picture. I'm looking for something similar, but without the cutout(need space for co2). I'm looking for somewhere (anywhere, I don't mind driving) that sells good high quality wood stands. None of this particle board crap. Any suggestions?

Yeah, been there done that, but I'll be the first to admit I'm no craftsman. I've done the whole DIY stand thing, but as with many things, if you want top quality often you have to pay for it rather than DIY.

Speaking of which, never buy a "flipped" house. Flippers did a horrible job. Recent experience.
