ABSTRACT:
A portable, safety, play furniture assembly with a relatively lightweight chair body (10) and a chair base (12) for supporting the chair body (10) against rolling or tipping. The chair body (10) has a smooth, closed, concave, preferably cylindrical interior surface (14) and a depth (10) which is approximately no less than half of the width or diameter (18) of the body (10). The chair base 12 has legs (24A, 24B) with feet (26A, 26B) that are part of a single planar foot (26C) which substantially underlies the entire chair body (10) and spans the depth (16) to reduce the risk of tipping. The bottom of the foot has a roughened surface (26D) to reduce the risk of sliding across a floor (28). In an alternate embodiment, cavities (36A, 36B) are provided to hold ballast and empty buffer zones (40) are provided in the upper part of the chair body (10) to increase stability. The assembly is molded as a single integrated piece, preferably using rotational molding.
