The research instrument used was questionnaire, approach. The questionnaire was administered to furniture makers and elicited information on bio-data of the respondents and technological capabilities possessed by them. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were employed for data analysis. The result shows that majority (61.1%) of the furniture makers expended between N10,710 and N214,880 in setting up their workshops, while 18.2% of the furniture makers spent between N215,050 and N537,880 to set up their workshops.
