How to make the sides of a cube concave?

Id like to design a cube where the four vertical sides are slightly concave.  Is a revolve (using the concave profile) the "best" way to do that?

Not if the corner edges have to be straight.

 

Use Loft to an indented centre point with Tangent option, or you get a four sided pyramid.

 

Might help….

I think you might want to better define the problem with a hand sketch or the like.  there are lots of interpretations for "a concave surface".

here's mine based on the current verbal description-

Sorry for the ambiguity.  Here's what I'm going for (rectangular solid in example, not a cube):
