When I first unboxed this faux leather piano bench cushion, I was skeptical about how it would hold up against my two hyperactive cats who love scratching everything. But after months of use, I'm happy to report - not a single scratch mark! The polyurethane cover is seriously pet-proof.

The 2-inch thickness surprised me most - it's like sitting on a cloud during my hour-long piano practice sessions. My old bench used to leave me with numb thighs, but this high-resilience foam maintains perfect support. Bonus: it springs back immediately when I get up, no permanent butt imprints!

I initially bought it for my piano bench but ended up using it everywhere - as a window seat cushion (those ties keep it securely in place), on my patio settee during summer concerts, and even as extra seating at dinner parties. The removable cover has survived multiple washes without fading or shrinking.

The only minor issue? The straps could be slightly longer for thicker benches. But that's easily fixed with some ribbon extensions. After testing nearly a dozen cushions, this one stands out for its perfect balance of comfort, durability and versatility - worth every penny for musicians and home decor lovers alike.
