Kitchen/Workbench/Shop/etc combined?

I'm looking for something - I'm sure it must exist somewhere.

I want a little unit that my two DDs (currently 3.8 and 1 yo, but I want it to last) can stand at and play kitchen, building, shops, office, etc. I don't see the point in having loads of units that essentially need to be the same (a little cupboard and some shelves) with different accesories, but at the same time I can't decide which would be best - I have happy memories of playing with a toy kitchen and so can see many games from that, but DD1 keeps asking for tools, so maybe a workbench would be better, but then a shop would have loads of variations...

So, is there a basic unit anywhere that would be suitable? I'm even considering buying a little wooden cupboard and painting it with blackboard paint, but where would I buy the tiny cupboard from?

Don't really want to spend over about £50, but can do if need be (i'm keeping back some more money to buy accesories for the various incarnations)

I can't be the first parent to ever think this would be a good idea!

Hmm, could I maybe nail together a couple of bedside cabinets and a small shelving unit, and paint with blackboard paint?

Or should i just stop fussing and buy a workbench and be done with it? Or maybe some of those fold up ones?

Any ideas anyone? I'll take it to chat I think. This thing must exist somewhere.

I'd like something similar. I expect that though it would be the best solution for small houses, it's the worst for profits.
