Laura Ashley Garrat coffee table - alternative?

Can anyone point me in the direction of an alternative to Laura Ashley's Garrat coffee table?:

here

I like the hinged design (storage! Grin) but I think the drawers will be too small to be useful. I'd prefer a) fewer - larger- drawers or b) second hinged side instead of drawers.

I've looking on ebay but I'm struggling to find a rectangular table that doesn't look too much like a blanket box or covered in cheap veneer. I like the square 90x90 hinged chest tables but really want something rectangular! Ideally in a medium/ darker wood. I'm not really sold on the ones that look like scaffolding planks.

My ideal dimensions would be something like 60cm(w) x 120cm(l) x 45cm(h). Trying to avoid anything too small.

I'm driving myself mad googling, any help would be appreciated Blush

We've got that coffee table, bought it quite cheap from LA, might have been ex-display.

We don't use the drawers for anything, but the inside has been useful storage (albeit anything that goes in there is instantly forgotten about). Small children LOVE playing with the drawers, word of warning!

Thanks carrie! I don't have kids so it would just be me playing with the drawers Grin

I'm stalking a couple on ebay and I suppose LA could potentially be doing some hefty Black Friday discounts?

Would you possibly be able to measure the inside dimensions of the drawers for me? I'm wondering how teeny they are!
