Campaign Furniture Markets Quality on a Budget


By Annie Pilon If you ve ever experienced the headache of assembling your own furniture, particularly from low-budget stores like Ikea, then you understand the frustrations of Brad Sewell. Sewell, a former Apple engineer, moved from California to Boston for business school a few years ago. And he had difficulty finding furniture that fit somewhere between IKEA s inexpensive, do-it-yourself model and the high-end stores that weren t exactly affordable.
