If I were to make these out of wood for an entertainment center (Legs would be 12" tall, 18" wide), would they be strong enough without a stretcher running between them?

EDIT:

To add some context..

Wood species and joinery would be critical. A through tenon and an oak might be enough. Middle would likely be a bit "soft" , support would be coming from the three ends.
