Do you still need a long low dresser? I have one I’m trying to sell. Let me know. I can send pictures.

Try out hold everything’s huge sale. Their closet collections would probably work-but it’s very simple, sort of boxy styling. Also their modular bath collection could work. If you only used a single cube high with the base they would be 22″ tall, they run $80 each, so you could set 4 side by side without breaking your budget.

My first instinct was to say check out IKEA but this afternoon I walked passed one of my favorite mid-century modern second hand stores and I saw a really cool, low credenza that was gorgeous. So I think you should check out some vintage, second hand type places (depending on where you live, even Salvation Army and Goodwill… I know several friends who’ve found cool stuff for SUPER cheap). Then you’ll get something unique… because honestly, while IKEA stuff looks clean, I wouldn’t say it looks unique.

Ikea-TV benches. There are a couple with doors and shelves which are under $200. Some are over 50 inches long, and abt. 19 inches deep.

I was in a similar situation recently — on a budget looking for a long low credenza-type storage unit, with shelves and drawers — and the commenters at Apartment Therapy urged me to scour eBay and Craigslist for some mid-century modern pieces. I ended up finding something really great & exactly what I needed for only $150. There’s stuff out there but you have to be patient.
