Following on from my space-saving thread - I need urgent help finding a Trofast style unit...and some other bits

I am just going round and round and round in circles. I am desperate to complete some of the larger bits of my spacesaving quest. But I am useless at finding/picking items.

I do not want to spend a fortune on each item, but then neither do I want to by tat, stuff that will break easily or look shabby easily, or looks 'cheap' [snob alert].

I like the trofast - but I have a dislike for plastic boxes. This unit is going in our hallway (there is a large space by the ballastrade, near bedroom for those who know victorian houses, you will know that space. Sometimes loft stairs are put there). So I want it to look nice. I have bought some nice wooden boxes that would fit in the spaces provided by trofast and I willl be painting them white with toy shapes on them.

I have seen one in Argos, but, I have just bought two items from Argos in my space-saving mission, to find they are complete garbage and I am returning them with the hope of not entering Argos again after that.

Any ideas please?

I have seen one, with boxes though. BUT. It is stupidly expensive, so I implore you to either find cheaper for me, but as nice, OR convince me this unit is worth it.

I also need to find:
A wicker/seagrass unit with 4 drawers, slimline but not titchy drawers - for the bathroom. A decent bathroom cupboard that does not look like a hospital unit.
A tall plastic/metal unit with 4 or 5 large drawers for the cupboard in the hallway, I want it to be about 4-5ft tall, but all those I am finding are like 3ft max (I want it for wellie boots and rain stuff, my canoeing stuff, gloves and scarves, bags, some shoes, polish and that kind of junk).
A good sized filing unit that is not too pricey.

Thank you muchly in advance.
