Steel or Wood?

Hi Guys:

I am thinking in build a new proyect in my home of abot 140 gals. Talking about the stand, I have seen some of you that have made this stand in wood. I think that would be great in wood for corrosion issues. My tank will be in a place that will be very difficult to make any maintenance job in a future, for this reason I don't like steel stands for my project.

But I am worried if the wood if able to support this weight. I know steel will but I am not sure about wood.

What do you think?

Thanks for your comments
