I've considered different wooden pedestals for years but never did try it. Although I've seen some nice wooden ones with carvings, etc.
Aesthetically, I would think this to be very simple and attractive depending on the pedestal, equipment, and what one did with the exposed cabling.
Sonically, I don't think they would be of any help and in fact will probably degrade sonics since they simply are not designed to transfer (or even isolate and dampen for those that believe in that methodology) any air-borne vibrations captured by the component and pedestal.
But if you were to execute such an endeavor, I would suggest your considering the following:
1. Use a real wood pedestal to give your configuration a more classic look.
2. For aesthetics, you might consider slightly different heights for each pedestal. Perhaps 6 inches or so difference.
3. Install the pre-amp in the center with the other components on either side and toe the left and right pedestals slightly outward. Thus putting the pedestal backs closer together to better hide the interconnect cables and keep their lengths as short as possible.
-IMO
