    So the stand is complete. Got the doors on and the hardware mounted. It has satin nickel hinges and handles and magnetic latches to keep the doors closed.

    This is the stand with just the under cabinet light on:

    Thanks singlefin.
    I got my hole saws delivered and started drilling for the drains and returns. My concern is where I placed the holes for the drains. I centered them, therefore, the middle is under the brace. According to the bean animal overflow. This 90 will be turned down for the secondary? So maybe it shouldn't cause a problem. I've just seen them all either to the left or right of that brace.
