What did you give your small, shy cat to hide in?

I have a small, shy cat that is being bullied by the larger, non-shy cat. There were a few pieces of furniture that the small cat could hide under or inside, but those pieces of furniture are now broken. What can I bring in that will give this cat a place to hide? (No cat pics, sorry.)

I have been keeping a large, broken dresser in my bedroom for years, specifically to give this small cat a place to hide. She likes to crawl under the dresser, and push her way up behind the drawers. It's not perfect - given time, the large cat can pull the drawers out and bother her. It's also a really bulky piece of furniture to keep around solely for the cat.

Ideally I'd find or build something with a small entrance for her, and ideally there'd be a way to exit in case the large cat squeezes himself in to get at her. There are a lot of things like "box or globe with a hole in it for a cat to hide in", but something like this will just keep her trapped while the large cat messes with her. Maybe a long tunnel with very solid sides, with narrow entrances at both ends.

Or does anyone have ideas about creating something like this? I'm thinking of trying to construct something out of cardboard to find the right dimenions for her, then possibly having something custom made.

Any ideas are welcome! Thanks.
