Similar to Tartan's idea, I have an old armoire that used to hold a TV. It is in the living room. Closed, the armoire is just another piece of furniture. It holds everything including my featherweight.
There are many pinterest ideas on how to restyle these into new workhorses. Some show how to build a pull down table for additional workspace too.
The thrift stores around here have them at a very reasonable price. Most people do not want them anymore because they are not large enough for the new TVs.
