I've not tried it but have to say it doesn't look anywhere near as good
Neither does the UA one

The benefit of the CO seat is that it is much wider than BA CW, while still being as long and fully flat. It is a 2-2-2 setup on the 777, vs the 2-4-2 dorm on BA. While privacy is lower than the CW windows seats, the way the seats are angled (particularly the middle section on a 777) does make up for it. I personally find the CO BF seat to be much more comfortable than CW. Then again, BF is only installed on about 60% of CO's LH fleet (although that number is increasingly very quickly) while CW has been around for years in its current form. The UA seat is not as good as CO's, but I feel it is at least on par with CW in terms of comfort, and better in terms of amenities/connectivity/IFE.
