The WN seat used to be one of the more comfortable coach seats on any aircraft that I've ever flown (I'm 6'3" and 225+/- for reference). The slimlines are too narrow (I have to get lucky and sit next to a small person not to have the shoulder-squeeze go on the whole flight), and there was very little knee room (can't recall if I had any at all...the seat in front of me may have been contacting my knees the whole flight).

In short, I was miserable.

I'm sure if you're a smaller individual the seats are ok, but they simply don't work for me.
