chaise

Elongated backyard furniture

A chaise is a light horse-drawn carriage, typically with two wheels and a folding hood.

The word also refers to a chaise longue—a reclining chair with an extended seat for the legs—though in American English this is often shortened to just chaise: She stretched out on the chaise by the pool.
