I ordered 4 of these pillows because I loved the vintage tea-towel look of them ... also there is a well-hidden zipper to remove the cover for washing.  Big bonus with 3 little boys in the house.  I haven't had to wash them yet, so I can't report on how they will hold up.  The fabric is great quality.  It has a burlap look but is not at all scratchy.  I would definitely recommend these pillows.
