To Burlap or Not To Burlap?

What do you think of the burlap upholstery trend? I'm not so sure. I do love touches of it, like in the ottoman, below. And I like it as a "burlap look" fabric. But real burlap used in upholstery? Hmmmm, not so comfy. I'm not going to be cuddling up to a potato sack anytime soon and I'm not going to upholster my chair with it because it is the cool thing to do. Well, unless it's on a pillow. Then it will be cool.
I like the post about burlap furniture trend found here.

These are pushing it. I don't think these look very cozy. I imagine they would be itchy and stiff.
