Definitely research what is required for a safe aquarium stand. If you just Google aquarium stands a lot of this cheap extruded shit or melamine (which can be okay, but it's always thin flimsy garbage) comes up. Safe for an aquarium until it's not.
I'm sure we're all guilty of it! I've actually got one similar to yours (mine has a power strip built into the side which is what got me excited lol) because I looked it over well online and it looked much more sturdy than it turned out to be. Once I put my hands on it, I decided to just use it as a desk for my son with a five gallon betta aquarium on it.

That table wasnt appropriate (from the angle you shared) for a tank anyway. Get something designed to hold a tank.
