Luie stoel click to hear is literally 'lazy chair.' Another word is gemakkelijke stoel click to hear which literally means 'easy chair.'
Note that Dutch stoel is 'chair,' while English 'stool' translates as Dutch krukje. An old-fashioned word for the other 'stool' is stoelgang click to hear (not pictured.)
