Russian tortoises are wonderful. I have a few.
One very budget-friendly option would be to hunt for a used bookshelf on Craigslist, and then flip it on its back and take out the shelves, possibly reinforce the back (or replace it) with plywood, and line it with a tarp. I have a tutorial for that on my tortoise blog. You can set it onto milk crates.
My friend's tortoise tables start at $200 and go up from there. You might inquire from local cabinet makers - they might be able to give you a quote.
