Although my the stand on my first tank was MDF (plastic coated) and had no signs of damage in 3 years, was always a concern. Have had other furniture made fr the stuff and doesn't to take much water to get it to swell. Guess if sealed really good, dab of silicone in the screw holes before fastening, etc..
