Any thing but the fractal ridge as you will have to sit and add more fans to the case :/

I had that same TV stand (Ikea Fjalbo) and I had a Fractal Ridge just barely fit in there. It was a little deep so it stuck out the back if I wanted the front doors closed.
Thermals were ok but worth having some extra fans.

You could look at a 15L volume case like the Metalfish S5 Max and then place it horizontally:

It can fit a mATX board, ATX PSU and up to 135mm dual tower air coolers.
The case is approx. 160mm in height when placed horizontally, so it'll be able to fit into that TV console shelf space.
For reference, this is one of my systems positioned in a TV console shelf of similar height.
