I make mine out of 2 x 2 (or what ever is nearest). two about 5 feet long connected with battens at about 12 inches. these are long enough to take two hves with some room left over in the middle for the odd nuc if needed or room to put my box of tricks. this is then stood on some building blocks  . the stand can then be adjusted for height to suit the beekeeper. its neat without being gaudy.
take care and stay lucky
