The solid wood entertainment center had been stained a light tan, I would like it to be a dark walnut color. Should I just sand it then stain?

My entertainment center measures 26 7/8 by 60 7/8 on the top with two lower shelfs measuring 11 7/8 by 60 7/8. I’m using simple corner guards for trim. I want them to fit together at 45 degree angles. I’ve tried twice before and the pieces were too short ( I didn’t compensate for the trim’s thickness) in one or both dimensions.

I’m looking for a wood that won’t sag over time or be extremely heavy. I was told to stay away from partical board (will sag) and plywood (way to heavy). I want to stain the wood, not paint it white or anything like that so I need a wood that looks nice also. I was told to use a solid hardwood but I can’t seem to find ’sheets’ of wood wide enough to build an entertainment system. Any info (along with websites that sell the stuff) would be appreciated.
