Responsibilities:

Frame Preparation: Inspect wooden frames for any defects and apply foam, cotton, or synthetic padding to ensure the foundation of the piece is smooth and comfortable.
Fabric & Leather Application: Measure, cut, and stretch upholstery materials over frames using pneumatic tools, ensuring that all fabrics are pulled tight without wrinkles or puckering.
Pattern Matching: Carefully align floral, striped, or geometric patterns across different sections of the furniture (such as arms, backs, and cushions) to maintain a seamless, high-end look.
Trim & Detail Work: Execute detailed finishing tasks, including hand-tufting, applying decorative nail-head trim, and attaching skirts or welting with precision.
Quality Inspection: Review production tickets for specific custom requirements and perform a final "bench check" to ensure the piece is free of defects before it moves to the shipping department.
Station Maintenance: Maintain a clean and safe workspace while properly caring for air tools, staple guns, and specialized upholstery hand tools.
