1. A scissor arm for an articulating support structure, the scissor arm being configured to rotate about an axis of rotation and comprising:
a central support structure at least a portion of which extends in a plane that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation; and
a tubular body comprising first and second members that form opposing sides of the scissor arm and are attached to the central support structure, each of the first and second member comprising:
an outer wall spaced from the plane,
an upper flange extending from the outer wall toward the plane, and
a lower flange extending from the outer wall toward the plane,
wherein a distance between the outer wall of the first member and the central support structure is the same as a distance between the outer wall of the second member and the central support structure.
