Where to buy single kitchen units?

Our house has a relatively new magnet kitchen fitted by the previous owners, and whilst we might not have chosen it, it's nice enough. However, they removed a large freestanding dresser unit and we are struggling for space. We like the idea of getting a dresser top which we could attach to the wall and saw something perfect in Wickes. After going through the talk, it was too expensive for our price point, but they were doing a sale in a couple of weeks so we could come back then. We rolled up during the sale, where upon the salesman said oh I thought you only wanted half of the unit, rather than the full item on display (we didn't realise it could be split) this them basically doubled the price. I think because we are only buying a single piece the pricing comes in £££. Where can I buy something without buying a whole kitchen, DIY kitchens seemed much more reasonable, but we'd fall foul of their minimum spend. Picture attached of the Wickes unit.

Thanks @Ihaterain1 , ideally not IKEA as they don't have a style I love.

Cotswold? They do some nice larders and dressers.

We recently bought one unit and a worktop for our tiny utility room from Jewsons. The sales man was lovely, and the unit was very reasonable. He even lent us a door from the display for a weekend so we could get paint colour matched to paint the existing wooden cupboards in the room.

Howdens and Magnet Trade.
Might need a trades person to buy it on their account. They will deal with you but may not sell to you without a trade account.
That said, I think it’s easy enough to open a faux account. Just tell them your a carpenter looking to set up on your own. No real details should be required. Easier than getting a Costco card.

Dunelm or next have some nice display cabinets or dressers that might be the right fit.

Ebay....loads of dressers and larders on there, both new and preloved at various price points.

Our massive (Victorian) larder was an ebay find for just £375 in 2019. We hired a van to collect which added to the overall cost but we were collecting other items too so it balanced out...plus it was still much cheaper (not to mention quicker!) than buying one from Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch where the rest of our cabinets were from.

I repainted it to complement the rest of our kitchen.
