Folding seaside lounger

A deckchair is a portable folding chair with a fabric seat stretched between a wooden or metal frame, designed for lounging outdoors.

Originally associated with ocean liners, deckchairs now appear on beaches, patios, and lawns.

We set up deckchairs in the garden.

To rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic is to make futile gestures while disaster looms.
