Shortly after we moved in, I went hunting for a media stand. I knew it needed to be taller than our last one, so that Jaye wouldn't be able to reach as well. I also wanted closed storage for the same baby thwarting reason. I considered an awesome mid century modern dresser, but all the ones I could find on Craigslist or in antique/thrift shops were out of my budget (usually between $400-500).
