Sturdy, fine furniture that comes apart is an ideal solution for narrow doorways and stairs. Locally made with steel-reinforced plywood frames, these you-won't-believe-they're-modular sectionals, sleepers, sofas and chairs are available in many styles, with short turnaround. They'll even upholster in your own fabric. Look for Modulus at Bowl & Board, Providence, and Ricci furniture, Coventry.
