is this stand worth 150 USD?

Hi, Please see below photo of a stand I found to purchase for my 32.5 gallon fish tank. it is made from oak wood and is made in 1950 . the price is around 150 USD.

is this worth it? i also see that the top wood is not a once piece but three piece, is this going to be a problem for the load of fish tank? since there will be water drops when I change water, can oak wood be affected with those few drops of water?

Thank you.

Should hold the tank fine. I wouldn't pay that much for what amounts to an old dresser though. I'm thinking $20-40 if I really needed it.

I negotiated the price so now it is 100 bucks.

Beautiful find. Wood is expensive in my part of the country those days. 100 still out of my range ha. If i saw that at a garage sale for like 30-50 ill pay for it fast. Im looking for dressers like that to repurpose and decorate my house with.

Should be okay! Just fry the wood if it gets wet. I looked at a solid oak stand I had when setting up one of my tanks but it was half an inch too short ?.
