How is there "aisle access for everyone"? The unlucky pax stuck by the window will have to climb over the other pax to get to the aisle. The equally unlucky aisle pax on the window sides will be continually disturbed and woken up as the other pax tries to climb over them. In short, only possible to sleep in 1/3 of the seats (the two aisle seats in the middle section). In other seats, no rest - only stress and continual disturbance from other pax. (And this is even worse than the BA front/back seats, where the aisle pax also has the window pax climbing over while in the sleeping position. This is so much more tight and it'll be even more disturbing when the window pax climb over.)

These look like very cheap and uncomfortable seats: very narrow at head and feet compartment, thus making the legs have to be bent at the knees, and giving no option to move head while sleeping.

HA really continues its tradition of sub-standard seating and being very cheap when it comes to the product. This is so far below the DL, JL, MU, KE, CA, etc. lie flat seating flying to HNL. HA will still continue to be at the bottom of the pack, though now not at the very bottom (NH will take that slot - as NH always has the worst long-haul seating/product, followed by CI and OZ angle lie-flats), just near it.
