As shown in FIG. 5, the third arm component M3 includes an upper surface B1 and a lower surface B2. The width of the upper surface B1 is wider than the width of the lower surface B2. For example, when the user seated on the seat 11 looks at the second arm component M2, the width of the upper surface B1 and the width of the lower surface B2 so that the third arm component M3 looks thinner from the upper surface B1 to the lower surface B2. The width is determined. As a result, the appearance of the second arm component M2 is improved.
