Brook Furniture Rental, Inc.
 PROFILE
The more mobile the US population, the more money Brook Furniture Rental makes. The company rents office and home furniture -- everything from desks and chairs to artwork, linens, and sofas -- to businesses and individuals. Its renters typically pay about $200 a month to furnish apartments and $160 a month to furnish offices. The company has expanded from its Midwest and West Coast operations by moving into Atlanta and Dallas/Fort Worth. It also has expanded to the East Coast by acquiring the Washington, DC/Baltimore operations of residential furniture renter ExecuStay by Marriott. Brook Furniture got its start in 1979 when owner Robert Crawford bought a small Chicago furniture store, Broyhill, and changed its name.
