Ashley Susandeer Console Sofa Table: Complete Buying Guide & Review

If you’re after a simple, budget console table with a rustic, open-shelf look, consider the Ashley Susandeer. It’s a solid wood console sofa table that measures 64 inches wide by 14.13 inches deep by 30 inches high and features a light brown wash with an open, slat-style lower shelft .

Quick Specs

What It’s Actually Like

The Susandeer favors an open, airy design over more traditional boxy console tables. The lower shelf makes use of slats rather than a solid panel, and as a result, is much more visible from the front. The use of visible grain in the natural light brown wood is something you won’t find in other painted or laminated console tables of similar price. The 14.13 inch depth is much slimmer than one would assume. It’s one of the reasons many of the console tables marketed for behind-the-sofa use feature a depth closer to 16-18 inches. At 14 inches, the Susandeer would be narrow enough to fit along a hallway wall behind a narrow hallway

Where It Works Best

• Behind a sofa that floats in the middle of a room,
• In an entryway, as a landing spot for keys, mail, and a lamp, with the lower shelf providing room for baskets or shoes
• In a hallway, Behind a sofa that floats in the middle of a room, rather than against a wall – a common design in open-concept living rooms In an entryway, as a landing spot for keys, mail, and a lamp, with the lower shelf providing room for baskets or shoes
• As a TV console, at 64 inches wide, the table would better suit a TV in the 43-55 inch range than anywhere larger

It’s less suited to a role as a primary media console for a large TV. There’s no closed storage for cable boxes or routers, and no dedicated shelf height built for stacking electronics.

Assembly and Real-World Setup

Assembly is listed at approximately 30 minutes, typical for this level of hardware (legs, a tabletop, and a slatted shelf panel) rather than a complete knocked-down cabinet with dozens of parts. Most owners find it’s a simple affair with standard tools and a second person (as with most flat-pack furniture) to hold pieces in place while legs are attached.

Because it’s solid wood rather than MDF or particleboard, it has heft beyond what its 14 inch depth would indicate. Either way, it’s a two-person carry once assembled, particularly up stairs or into a narrow hallway.

Price: What to Expect

The Susandeer is a clear example of that. Listed prices across various retailers have ranged from roughly $125 on the low end to several hundred dollars at full retail before promotions. Many landing spots fall in the $300–$450 range after typical sales discounts. That spread reflects regional retailer pricing, ongoing promotions, and shipping distance, not different product quality. It’s the same table regardless of where you buy it.

Because pricing shifts frequently and varies by retailer, don’t treat any single number as fixed. Check current pricing directly with an authorized Ashley retailer near you, or on Ashley’s own site, before budgeting around a specific figure.

Pros and Cons

What works:

• Genuinely slim 14-inch depth, useful in tight spaces
• Solid wood construction at a price point where MDF is more common
• Open-shelf design keeps rooms feeling light rather than boxed-in
• Simple, fast assembly compared to more complex console tables
• Neutral light brown finish pairs with most existing furniture

What to weigh before buying:

• No closed storage — the open shelf isn’t a place to hide clutter or cables
• Fixed shelf height means it may not fit larger media boxes or bulky baskets
• Light brown finish shows scratches and water rings more visibly than darker stains. A coaster habit or a protective mat matters here
• Assembly required, with no ready-to-use option offered

How It Compares to Other Ashley Console Tables

If you’re cross-shopping within Ashley’s lineup, a couple of other models come up often in the same searches. Here’s how the Susandeer stacks up on paper.

For a full breakdown of dimensions, pricing, and styling for those two, PlazmaHomes’ Ashley Quinnland console sofa table guide and Ashley Breckington sofa table review go into the same level of detail as this one. Broadly, the Susandeer stands out for its slimmer depth and lower price positioning. Quinnland and Breckington lean toward different finish options and slightly different storage configurations. They’re worth comparing directly if depth and budget are your two biggest constraints.

A Safety Note Worth Taking Seriously

Any tall, narrow furniture piece, including console and sofa tables, has a tipping hazard, and this is particularly relevant to households with children who may climb on open shelving. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends anchoring such furniture to the wall with anti-tip hardware. It’s an easy, cheap step (not included by default) that’s easy to skip on installation; in the case of a tall open-shelf table like the Susandeer, it’s worth doing.

Buying Advice: Who Should Get This One

If you’re looking for a slim table for a tight space, the Susandeer’s 14 inch depth has value as compared to bulkier console tables in the same price bracket. It’s also a solid option if you prefer to see wood grain and have an open, uncluttered look, and not the heavier look of a closed-cabinet console table.

It’s not as great of a fit if you’re looking for hidden storage for electronics or clutter, or outfitting a formal living room where a more polished, finished-wood console table would better suit the existing furniture. In that case, it’s worth comparing to Quinnland or Breckington, which offer variations on finish that may be closer to a traditional look.

What are the exact dimensions of the Ashley Susandeer console table?
It measures 64 inches wide by 14.13 inches deep by 30 inches high, with a shelf opening of roughly 55.5 inches wide and 16.5 inches tall for the lower storage area.

Is the Susandeer table solid wood or particleboard?
It’s made from solid wood, which is part of why it has noticeable heft over typical MDF console tables at a similar price point.

How long does assembly take?
Ashley lists an estimated assembly time of approximately 30 minutes, which is on the lower end for flat-pack furniture. Having a second person to help with a table this long is suggested.

Does the Susandeer come in other colors?
Based on available listings, it’s sold in the light brown finish shown here. Availability of alternate finishes can vary by retailer and region, so check current listings if you’re looking for a different tone.

Is this table good for placing a TV on?
It can hold a smaller TV, roughly in the 43–55 inch range. It lacks closed storage for cable boxes or streaming devices, so it works better as a secondary or bedroom TV console than a primary media center.

Where can I buy the Ashley Susandeer console table?
It’s sold through Ashley’s network of authorized retailers, not exclusively through one storefront. That’s why pricing varies. Checking a couple of authorized retailers near you, or Ashley’s own site, is the most reliable way to compare current price and availability.

Does this table need to be anchored to the wall?
Ashley doesn’t require it, but the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends anchoring tall or open-shelved furniture to the wall as a general safety practice, particularly in households with young children.
