- (a) a user support member operable to support a user, said user support member longitudinally extending between a first end and a second end of the user support member;
- (b) an extending member dimensioned for attachment to the user support member so as to transversely extend from the user support member to an attachment side of the extending member;
- (c) an end member dimensioned for attachment to said extending member at said first end of said user support member, said end member having a top edge dimensioned for extending inwardly and upwardly away from the attachment side;
- (d) a second end member dimensioned for attachment at said second end to said user support member, said second end member having a second member top edge dimensioned for extending upwardly away from the user support member;
