I purchased this as a cushion for a new bench.  The material is very nice and it is well made.  I didn't notice, or I didn't think the curved back edge would be a problem.  So please be aware of this.  It would go best in a bench type chair, that needed that curve in the back.  I really need a straight edge on both sides. It is very thick and nice, but I will be using mine on another furniture piece, not for planned use.
