Look under DIY pages.

As usual, it starts out with 2x4s. At least for a 38x24. The Russian
school of engineering :-).

C'mon folks. Take any cabinet you've built lately and stand on it. If
it's big enough have someone stand on it with you. If you've built it
properly of 4/4 hardwood with a couple of cross members, it'll hold a
lot of weight. If you haven't - oops - don't stand on it :-).

You have to wonder if the owner of that website has ever seen how flimsy
the stands are that you can buy in a pet shop. I wouldn't have one,
but they must hold up the weight.
