Construction correct?

Bonjour!

Is the below sentence correct in terms of usage of que/qui vs ce que/ce qui?

Je m’assieds dans une chaise sur le balcon qu'est attaché à mon appartement.

For some reason the "qu'est" doesn't look right to me but i dont know why. If any other errors, appreciate the correction on those as well.

Merci d'avance!

Does this mean it isn't acceptable to use it on its own when speaking?

Limits of Rien!In all your examples "rien" is always at the end of sentence. Can you add clause(s) after "rien". For example: "C'est mon film policier préféré. Il n'est rien comme les films policiers modernes parce qu'il n'y a pas de poursuites en voiture à grande vitesse et personne n'est tué jusqu'à la dernière scène.
