What is a piece of furniture called a chase?
A piece of furniture called a chase is a cross between a sofa and a chair. However, the correct spelling of the word is "chaise," rather than "chase." A chaise has an elongated shape similar to a couch, but it has a high backrest on one end. Its design allows a single person to sit with their legs comfortably elevated.
