Work ache, say? I take this seat? (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

easy chair

'this seat?' is the definition.
(easy chair is a kind of seat)

'work ache say? i take' is the wordplay.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'take' becomes 'r' (recipe is latin for take - r is abbreviation).
'ache'+'say'='achesay'
'achesay' is an anagram of 'easycha'.
'easycha'+'i'+'r'='EASY CHAIR'

(Other definitions for easy chair that I've seen before include "Item of furniture" , "Lounge feature" , "It's large and comfortable to sit in" , "source of comfort" , "nice spot to be in" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
