1)padding - rather lack of. Put into bed mode, went to lay down, and could feel all the metal bars/pieces that form the seat.
2)the door - Either fully open or fully closed, no inbetween. Seems to stick, too close one must pull lever while pushing door, no simply pushing door closed. There's a gap for some unknown reason.
3)storage - again, rather a lack of.
4)wear/tear - they're not even a year old. However the carpet was peeling off, the console surface was scratched up like it was in service for a decade, buttons weren't working all the time.

Talked with FA, she told me they get constant complaints. However DL thinks they're doing great. They're not getting that they've cut back on number of J seats, thus the cabin is sold out more often. They seem to think that the cabin is full because people want the D1 Suites.
