Your responsibilities as a furniture tester are to test pieces of furniture before they hit the showroom by sitting, lying, and moving around on them. You evaluate each product based on comfort, ergonomics, and even safety. Your duties as a safety tester go beyond deciding if a chair or couch is comfortable and head into a stricter set of standards that detect whether a hazard is present. Safety testing and comfort testing are often two separate jobs, though some companies combine both. Your job includes regular sitting and standing throughout the day in most cases.
