new F class poorly assembled

the day before yesterday I flew ZRH - ORD on the new A300/300 (St Gallen). Much to my disappointment, my seat (2K) had the following flaws:

1) video would turn itself off for twenty seconds, every five minutes. multiple restarts could not solve the problem.

2) the switch that operates the privacy wall, was wired wrong: in order to open it you had to press the close switch and vice versa (in other words, the wooden wall moved in the opposite direction with respect to the arrow painted on the switch)

3) In the opposite seat, and in the seat in front of it ( I believe 1 and 2H) the screen quality was poor, as if the contrast was put way down. Working with the screen controls produced no effect

4) the reading light would not turn itself off.

Tonight i am flying back, let us see how the cabin is.

Cheers
