If you go to IKEA, you can get the plain ones & then your visitors can
paint/ decorate/ add things/ make them tactile (they need to be covered in
PVA to keep the paint on). Also, Local Ed Authorities often have school
furniture stores where they keep old stuuf - give the LEA a ring & you can
often get some real bargains... and then you can paint/ decorate those ones
too

PS there's an IKEA in Gateshead, so if you're in the region why not visit
the local museums!
