Help with finding coat stand/hallway storage

I'm looking for a unit for my hallway which combines coat hooks, shelving, and a flat surface for keeping keys, phone etc on.

Something like these:

Neither are quite right as I don't need shoe storage (already have that elsewhere) and I was thinking open shelving rather than cupboards.

I like the idea of having a mirror incorporated, but it's not crucial.

I'm envisaging maybe 6 coat hooks - 3 up high and 3 lower down to encourage kids to hang up their coats; shelving low down, maybe with baskets for hats, scarves, gloves, and somewhere for school bags to go; and a flat surface for keys, DH's wallet, spare change etc.

Budget is up to about £150.

What are other furniture companies can I try? I have looked at IKEA, Next, John Lewis, Habitat, Cotswolds Company and Scots of Stow, plus a general web search, but can't find anything closer to what I'm thinking of other than the ones I have linked to.

Depends on how much your budget is? Have you thought about combining the three things together and choosing your own hooks, mirror and seating?

Ahh sorry just saw the £150

Yes, I have looked at separate pieces, but another issue is the lack of depth in the space it needs to go in - only about 35cm between the wall and the front door. Most of the low shelving units I have seen (ie that would leave space for coats to be hung above) are deeper than that.
