The fabric was a better, thicker material that the seersucker box cushion arm chair slip cover, but it still was not very soft and I couldn't get it to fit on my chair. It just did not fight right. The fabric was not soft either. I'm looking for a plush, soft cover that fits my oversize comfy slip cover rocking chair and this is not it. Overall I'm disappointed with both of my slipcover purchases and am returning them both.
