porch swing
Suspended entry seating
A porch swing is a bench-style seat suspended by chains or ropes from an overhead beam, typically hung on a covered porch or veranda.
It swings gently back and forth, associated with leisurely summer evenings and Southern American domesticity: We sat on the porch swing watching the fireflies.
