I’m going to go against the grain here. That looks like an old oak cabinet. Those could hold an elephant without even a creak. 
 

I would trust that oak cabinet more than any of the flimsy particle board stands they sell now. 
 

For reference I had a 55g on an old oak cabinet and it held without issues for years. 

I agree.  Assuming that cabinet is solid wood and not particle board (which looks to be the case), it will likely be at least as sturdy as any purpose-built stand you could buy, or probably make.

My daughter-in-law has had a 55 gallon tank on an old solid wood sideboard and it's worked just fine.
