From the last 3 flights (usually from Haneda) I noticed the following:

- Leather of the armrests looks pretty used and is loosing the creamy white color
- Glass missing in the door on the bar right to the screen, so drinking glass (luckily didn't break), popcorn and cans falling out during takoff, on the bar to the right, the glass on the top shelf was bent and looked like it was gonna fall off soon
- The gold molding on the table under screen loosing its golden color on some parts and was loose on one one place
- The "wallpaper" (I dont know how else to call it) on the wall next to the service window looked like there are 2 or 3 big bubbels of air under it
- The light control sometimes went berzerk and resetted itself (ceiling lights suddenly turn on, other lights show alle different colors for 1 or 2 seconds) which was a bit annoying when napping or watching tv
- Door sometimes stuck, had to use a lot of force to open it
- This is more a personal thing: The 2 personal air vents are nice, but waaaaaay too loud for my taste

All in all, its still an awesome first class with lots of personal space and I got some of the best hours of sleep i ever had in a plane, however some material and/or design choices just don't feel very high class
I agree - the colour scheme is nice but there was wear even very early on.

Got HND on Feb so will see how it is
