beyond our expectations…
When we contracted Robin to design a coffee table with storage, we were expecting a really nice coffee table with storage. Robin came over and sat with us for quite a while, carefully listening to our needs and analyzing our space. We ended up with a perfect piece, unlike anything we’ve ever seen or imagined. Robin is a gem and a true professional.

durable, affordable and classic…

Robin Speas has been making furniture for me since 1999.  Her unwavering attention to detail, centuries-old trained craftsmanship, understanding of and attention to style and proportion, ability to build beautiful objects that fit awkward spaces, and ability to match or coordinate with furniture and settings from time gone by are all abilities she brings to each and every project.

Whether building a nightstand, banquet table, bedroom suite, wooden framed car, straw bale home, renovation, kitchen or bathroom cabinetry, her work is beautiful durable, affordable and classic. Robin makes the heirlooms and antiques of the future. And while you might think custom furniture and cabinetry are out of your price range, think again. Robin will work with you and your budget to give you the best product possible. Her billing is always fair –almost too fair—something you don’t see everyday.

I highly recommend Speas Studio for your next project, you’ll be hooked!

extraordinary designer…
As a long time client, Robin has shown me time and again what an extraordinary designer and woodworker she is. I first met Robin over 25 years ago. The architectural firm that was designing our home highly recommended her. She worked with us and the architects through the building process. She designed and built our kitchen, spiral stairs, all our bathroom, bedroom, dining room and office cabinets. She also built most of our furniture including a large mahogany dining room table, maple kitchen table, birds eye maple and cherry bed, coffee table and desks. Our home turned out beautiful thanks to her creativity, craftsmanship and attention to details.

Through the years as my life and needs changed I have relied on Robin for wonderful solutions to design and building needs.  I have never met anyone else who sees so clearly three dimensionally and who can find solutions to complicated design problems so quickly and economically.  With all her experience and talent she remains very very affordable.  I highly recommend Robin.  There is none better.

professional, affordable and timely…
Robin built a beautiful, custom-made entertainment center for my flat screen TV and stereo equipment. Her attention to detail and fine craftsmanship is hard to find in Santa Fe. It is perfect for my space! She is professional, affordable, and timely in her work. I will use Speas Studio in the future.

stellar work…
Thanks again for the stellar work. I have only seen work of this caliber occasionally in galleries. The materials were selected with the utmost care and thus superb. The design is exquisitely simple and elegant. The piece has been perfectly fashioned. It is for these reasons, I would qualify you as an exceptional artist. Again, many thanks for a piece I will treasure.
