An article of manufacture comprising:
- a seat;
- a first support base;
- an upright elongated support element having a first point and a second point, said first point connecting to said seat and said second point connecting to said first support base;
- a resilient component, said resilient component being disposed beneath said first support base, and said resilient component being capable of providing cushioning to said first support base;
- a second support base disposed beneath the resilient component;
- and
- at least two tension elements, each said tension element linking said first support base and said second support base, each said tension element being capable of independently stretching and contracting, wherein
- the resilient component deforms to allow the upright elongated support element and the seat to tilt relative to vertical axis,
- the tension elements prevents shifting and sliding of the first support base from the resilient component, and
- outer edges of the first support base and second support base function to stop further tilting of the upright elongated support element and the seat.
