What do you think? > I think the term "deckchair" is misleading. The profile may be similar but they're different things. A real deckchair has a conformal fabric contact area and (the most important distinction) is movable. These things are fixed. Real deckchairs are only present during (approximately) daylight hours and are stored when there is no supervision (to prevent them being stolen). A real deckchair would need an opening_hours tag. I agree that these things aren't benches, but they're not deckchairs either. Using amenity=wooden_deckchair is no better as some deckchairs have a wooden frame and other deckchairs have a tubular metal frame so people would misunderstand what is meant. I think an argument can be made for mapping real deckchairs (it's useful to know if a beach you intend to visit has them). I think an argument can be made for mapping these things. I think an argument can be made for not calling them benches. I just think they shouldn't be called deckchairs. -- Paul
