ᐅ Looking for Furniture Advice for a Bathroom Niche

Hello everyone!
Here is the current situation:

Modern bathroom: white bathtub, showerhead, grey tiles, baskets and towels.

The Kallax shelf back there in the niche is only a temporary solution.
I would like to have something different there. The Kallax just fits in exactly. The width I have is about 155cm (61 inches), and the height is about the same as the Kallax (around 77cm (30 inches)).
I would prefer a shelf, chest of drawers, or side table that is a bit lower than the current one. It can have some open compartments for towels but may also partially have doors.
I can hardly find anything in the 150–155cm (59–61 inches) width range. Everything I find is either too short (for example, 120cm (47 inches)) or too long (160cm (63 inches) doesn’t fit).

Do you have any ideas what would fit well there? Preferably something from that big Swedish store or other online shops, any tip is much appreciated. 🙂

Sorry, who was that then hm.
This isn’t a straightforward photo, but I posted it last week in the discussion about bathtub platforms:

Bathroom: white bathtub, dark tiles, basket with toiletries, round sponge.

Have a look at mycs. Well done and quite reasonably priced. Plus a solid online configurator.

Thanks, I’ve already checked them out but based on the photos, I thought the quality might not be good. Have you ever seen any of their products in person?

I have had a MYCS lowboard for two weeks now and I am somewhat satisfied. The delivery took two months longer than stated, and I have some doubts about the durability of the matte black finish—but time will tell.

The unit is sturdy, and assembly goes quickly once you understand the system. What annoys me a bit is that there is no continuous top panel, which I didn’t notice when configuring it.

I still need to adjust the doors 😉

The piece is sturdy, and once you understand the assembly concept, building it goes quickly. What annoys me a little is that there isn’t a continuous top panel, which I didn’t realize when configuring it.

Ah, thanks for your feedback!
I looked at similar lowboards from them as well for the living room, but in the end, we decided on something completely different.
I had also noticed those gaps around the doors in photos before, which put me off. But if they can be adjusted, that changes things.

If you can accept a height of 140cm (55 inches), then Metod from Ikea is a good option. If you add side panels, you get a sturdy solution for under 300 euros with dozens of fronts available.

On top, you can have a countertop cut to the desired width at a hardware store like Bauhaus, and you can also cut a door to the right size on the side.

We visited the store in Düsseldorf to check the quality for ourselves and bought a bookshelf measuring about 4 x 3 m (13 x 10 ft), which we assembled quickly. I haven’t gotten around to adjusting the doors yet... as often happens, I haven’t finished the job. The craftsmanship, paint quality, and system all work well. Only the drawers are quite small behind the front, and the ladder isn’t matched to the system width. Here is a close-up photo of our shelf.
