I recently started following some folks in the UK on instagram and a few of them post things for sale - quite often. Have you looked there? @urbanfox.letterpress, @jeremywinkworthletterpress are a few examples and @mckellier for new stuff. I think once you start following a few, instagram will suggest similar. Might be worth a look or a query to some of them.

If you search a bit in the UK, you can find some very nice Resalite® furniture: https://picclick.co.uk/Large-Quantity-Printing-Letter-Press-Furniture-Bl...
Much more stable than wooden furniture and definitely less costly to buy it locally.

I would reccomend Urban Fox as a good source, he often sells at various print fairs and may well be at the British Printing Society Annual Conference at Reading in April. As Thomas suggests Resalite furniture is a good bet as is Cornerstone aluminum furniture, both appear on ebay from time to time. Contact Urban Fox though, he has a web site.

My press came with a 5-gallon bucket full, but you can make it yourself. All you need is a table-saw and some hardwood. I don’t know about England, but here across the pond, it’s a tool commonly found at garage sales for reasonable prices.
