What color are you looking to restain the stand? General with restaining wood you can go to a darker stain, but you can't go to a lighter color. That grooved style wood is going to make sanding tough, as first you don't want to burn the edges off sanding, and second getting into the seams is probably going to require hand sanding (and hours of). If you pick a stain that's just 'redder' chances are those seams are probably going to be pretty dark.
If the stand was just skinned in that wood and it's not structural, I would just suggest to removed and reskin it. But it doesn't look like that's the case. Start with 150grit, move to 220, and finish with 320/600.
In a worst case scenario, you could always just paint the stand. A black stand/canopy fits well into most homes today

I've got some 6000/20000 (four zeros
) grit polishing cloth I use to fix scratched acrylics/plastics.
