Best purchase I ever made aND to think I bought it sight unseen!  Fits my bad back and holds your body in perfect, comfortable, upright position with much needed back support.  Back is not too far away, causing you to lean back comfortably rather than fall back and have a hard time getting up. I bought canvas-sunbrella material.  It's a beautiful tight weave indestructible fabric that's a beige/cream color.  Simply beautiful!
