What happens here

Cut plywood pieces to the exact dimensions of the bench tops to serve as the cushion bases. Lay down the upholstery fabric face down on a clean surface. Layer a piece of batting on top of the fabric, followed by a piece of high-density foam (cut to the cushion dimensions). Place the plywood base on top of the foam. Starting from the center of one side, pull the fabric taut over the edge of the plywood and secure it with staples using a stapling gun. Flip the plywood over to staple from underneath. Repeat this process around all sides, maintaining tension. For the corners, carefully fold and tuck the fabric to create a neat, tailored appearance before stapling. Trim any excess fabric.

Goal: Cut plywood bases, layer foam, batting, and fabric, then staple the fabric to the bases to create comfortable, custom-fitted cushions for the benches.
