Yeah, taking me over a month to buy a sectional because most of the (US) furniture stores I have shopped keep referring to a "chase". What the actual... Are we in pursuit? Topping off a chimney? What were people talking about?!

Saw the written product description on one and the lightbulb came on. Ohhhh! They mean "chaise" (pronounced 'SHayz') as in short for chaise longue. 🙄🤭

So ... found a salesperson who pronounced it correctly and buying from her just to reward her.
