The bulkhead seats do not have a lot of legroom.
Armrests only go partway up, so not easy lying down across an empty row.
The seat slides partly forward to recline. This is a problem if you are tall since it pushes your knees into the seat in front. Tall people can't easily recline in these seats. According to smashley, the netting for feet is a bit odd and rather springy.
No power at emergency exit row seats (and I guess also bulkhead).

There are 4 toilets in the middle of the cabin, and 4 more at the rear of the cabin. The galleys are at the back.
