First timer looking for lighting advice

Hey this isn’t crazy and I’m actually very interested in this idea. My grow tent will be in the middle of my den so I’ve been thinking why not get a cabinet so it looks nice? Also something sturdy because we have cats and they will want to scratch/climb. What is holding me back is that I’m not particularly handy and the appeal of the grow tents is that are purpose-built with the right what are they struts? the bars to hang the lights. And also grow tents are built to protect against light leaks. So… I will probably get a grow tent but I’m very intrigued by a more furniture-y look!
