I will tell you three things from my background.
1) Furniture is EXTREMELY expensive to make. I know some people scoff at the Eames Lounge price, but for a fact Herman Miller doesn't make as much profit as you would think. Nor does Blu Dot on their $120 'Real Good Chair.' In fact, Herman Miller makes more money off of Yves Behar's $500 desk lamp.
2) Bending Plywood is easy. If burnouts in CA can do it to make skateboard ramps, so can you. ANYONE CAN
3) MCAD has an ID program. It's so-so. I would try to either contact someone through that to see if there is a community-ed program, or dig around your contacts to see if you can meet up with someone in the field.
