• A film or a story is said to keep you on the edge of your seat, if it is suspenseful or engaging.

• When English-speaking philosophers talk about the material world as opposed to ideas, their phrase is tables and chairs.
• An orchestra awards a musician a chair or seat based on ability. The best player in a particular section will receive "first chair," or the "principal seat." It is also common for this position to be known as 'first stand,' a reference to the portable lectern on which the musicians put their sheet music. However, the person who is first chair in the first violin section is usually referred to as the concertmaster in the USA or leader in the UK.
