What's wrong with this picture?
While it might be rather clever, using an easy chair as a jack stand to support a car is the kind of safety shortcut that can get your workers killed and your company a big, fat OSHA fine.
Moral: Jacks used to horizontally lift, lower, or move a load (like the vintage VW station wagon in this photo) must meet specific requirements set out in the OSHA Other Portable Tools and Equipment Standard (Section 1910.244).
