Custom Console Tables in Marin County, CA

Entryways and hallways are some of the most overlooked spaces in a home, yet they set the tone for everything beyond the front door. Spencer Mason Designs creates custom console tables that treat these transitional spaces as opportunities for genuine artistic expression. Each piece is handcrafted in San Rafael using exceptional hardwoods and, where the design calls for it, artistic epoxy resin work that brings color, movement, and contrast to the grain. Whether your hallway is narrow and uniquely proportioned or your entryway calls for a bold centerpiece, a bespoke console table design from Curtis Underhill is built around your space, not the other way around.

Handmade Console Tables, Marin County
Built for the Spaces That Standard Furniture Ignores

Most catalog furniture assumes your home is standard. Entryways are not. They come in narrow widths, unusual depths, and architectural proportions that off-the-shelf pieces simply cannot accommodate. Handmade console tables from Spencer Mason Designs start with your actual dimensions, not a predetermined size. Curtis works directly with each client to determine the right depth, length, and profile for the space, ensuring the finished piece fits as though it was always meant to be there. Because it was. Every slab of exceptional hardwood is selected for its natural character, and no two pieces share the same grain pattern, making your console table genuinely one of a kind.

Functional Art Console Design
Where Organic Wood Meets Artistic Craftsmanship

A functional art console from Spencer Mason Designs is more than a surface to set your keys on. The combination of exceptional hardwoods and hand-applied epoxy resin produces a piece with genuine visual depth, one that rewards a closer look every time you pass through the room. Edge profiles are chosen with care, from a subtle round-over treatment to more defined beveled edges, depending on the aesthetic the space calls for. Bases are fabricated locally by trusted metal craftsmen in Northern California, with both custom-made and pre-made metal options available to suit the design and budget of the project. The result is a piece that holds its own as a work of art while functioning exactly as it should every day.

Custom Entryway Tables, San Rafael Workshop
The Collaborative Commission Process
Every custom entryway table begins with a conversation, not a digital configurator. Curtis invites clients to the San Rafael workshop, open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM by appointment, to compare wood slabs in person, examine edge profiles, and talk through the design directly with the maker. From that starting point, the commission takes shape around your inspiration, your space, and your aesthetic. The process typically runs from approximately one month to ten weeks depending on the scope of the piece. Once complete, white-glove delivery and assembly brings the finished table to your home throughout Marin County and across Northern California, including San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, and the East Bay.

Why Spencer Mason Designs
A Direct Relationship with the Craftsman Behind Every Piece
Spencer Mason Designs is not a showroom and not a retailer. It is a working workshop run by Curtis Underhill, whose background in woodworking and mastery of epoxy resin work defines every piece that leaves the shop. Clients in Marin County communities including Ross, Tiburon, Kentfield, Mill Valley, and Sausalito, as well as clients throughout the East Bay and Wine Country, work directly with Curtis rather than through layers of sales staff. This means the person answering your questions about grain direction, epoxy color, and base style is the same person who will build your table. That direct relationship is what separates a commission from Spencer Mason Designs from anything available through a catalog or online configurator.
Console Table Questions
Common Questions About Custom Console Tables

  • Can a custom console table be made to fit a very narrow hallway?

    Yes, and that is exactly the kind of project this work is built for. Many entryways and hallways have proportions that standard furniture simply cannot accommodate. The commission process starts with your actual dimensions, so the depth, length, and overall profile of the piece are determined by your space rather than by a predetermined size range. Curtis works through these specifics with you directly during a workshop consultation, ensuring the finished table fits the space precisely.

  • What wood is used for a console table, and can I choose the slab in person?

    Highly figured walnut is the primary material used at Spencer Mason Designs, selected for its dramatic grain patterns and natural character. Part of the commission process involves visiting the San Rafael workshop to compare wood slabs in person. Because each slab has its own unique grain, no two pieces are ever identical. This hands-on selection is a core part of what makes the finished piece genuinely one of a kind rather than a reproduction of a standard design.

  • Does every console table include epoxy resin, or is that optional?

    Epoxy resin is one of the primary artistic mediums used at Spencer Mason Designs, but its inclusion depends on the design of the specific piece. Some consoles are built to let the natural character of the walnut slab speak for itself, while others incorporate epoxy to introduce color, movement, and contrast. The direction the design takes is worked out collaboratively with Curtis during the commission process, based on your aesthetic preferences and the character of the slab selected.

  • What base options are available for a custom console table?

    Bases are fabricated by local metal craftsmen in Northern California who work in collaboration with Spencer Mason Designs. Custom-made metal bases are available for commissions where a specific design is required, and pre-made metal options are also available depending on the project's design requirements and budget. The choice of base style, finish, and profile is discussed as part of the overall commission conversation, ensuring the base complements rather than competes with the wood and epoxy work above it.

  • How long does it take to complete a custom entryway table?

    The timeline for a custom commission typically runs from approximately one month to ten weeks. The exact duration depends on the scope and complexity of the piece, including the slab selection, any epoxy work involved, and the base fabrication. Curtis works through the timeline with each client at the outset of the commission so expectations are clear from the beginning.

  • Does Spencer Mason Designs deliver to areas outside of Marin County?

    White-glove delivery and assembly is available throughout the service area, which includes Marin County communities such as Ross, Tiburon, Mill Valley, and Sausalito, as well as San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, and East Bay locations including Danville, Orinda, and Walnut Creek. Clients who prefer to collect their piece in person can also arrange direct pickup from the San Rafael workshop.

  • Is it possible to buy a finished console table without commissioning a new one?

    Yes. In addition to custom commissions, Spencer Mason Designs occasionally has completed original pieces available for purchase. These pieces have predetermined specifications and dimensions set by Curtis. Availability varies, so reaching out directly is the best way to find out what is currently on hand.
