German term
Liege
German to English
Tech/Engineering
Furniture / Household Appliances
It describes a sort of 'chair' by the side of a pool/ outside a sauna which you can lie on, but the difficulty is that it is made of building boards and is then tiled - it cannot be moved, adjusted etc. It's more like a cement block shaped like a sunlounger. Help!

lounger
If you've got it described, then you may as well just call it a lounger or recliner ... and give a few more details.
Doesn't sound very comfortable, mind!

: I think in UK English a lounge deck is a particular deck on a ship and I think you mean chaise longue not lounge?

deck chair
generally describes what you are asking about (Liegestuhl) with reclining back. "Patio chair" also is a piece of outdoors furniture, but without reclining back."Lounge" is a flat board with crosswise plastic strip support to stretch out and has an adjustable head rest only.

: Tradiditional old deck chairs on ships were made of wood slats. Modern deckchairs are canvas strung on wooden frame. Tiles are mentioned above!
