I thought I'd try a 'Riley riddle':
My prefix you sit on.
My suffix you swat at.
My infix you walk on,
But I am beautiful to look at.
What am I?
(It doesn't really rhyme if all the words are the same though, does it?!)

$\begingroup$ I almost posted just the answer to then edit in the explanation, but I thought that might be cheating, so I just typed fewer letters! You probably started before me. $\endgroup$– NetJohnApr 6, 2018 at 21:45

$\begingroup$ @Buildstarted Since there was another (different kind) puzzle with this answer posted recently, the word was present in short-term memory. $\endgroup$– NetJohnApr 6, 2018 at 21:46
