I needed a small couch for my office.  I love that I can angle the arms to sit in it like a chaise!  So arms up for when I have clients coming or when I want it to take up as little space as possible.  Half up/half down for sketching and doing laptop work.  And all the way down for nap time!  The pockets on the side are nice to tuck in a phone charger or other small light weight things.  The arms move smoothly.  The fabric has a linen feel, so not soft, but also not scratchy.  Very easy to assemble.  Overall it works well for my office needs.  Not a large comfy couch for movies and snuggling.... this is for offices, play rooms, or other secondary purposes.
