Looks good. Seems like you didn't use 2x4 but it came out nice. What size wood are rhe supports

[Andrew_B]

Looks like 1x6's as vertical corners and 1x4s everywhere else

[New_Cichlid11]

seems like someone knows the properties of wood.. But man it will still scare me if the only thing carry all that weight are some screws..

Wood is strong as hell, it's not going to over compress as long as it has proper horizontal bracing. I would hesitate building a frame only stand with that size wood. But adding the plywood would make that stand hold a pool with shamu in it

Screws don't hold the weight up Luis, they just hold the wood together.
