Has anyone sat in this seat or have pictures they can show me? What was your experience?
It’s a bad seat in my view. Unfortunately I don’t have pictures. But the fuselage curves outwards to meet the emergency exit at your left knee. Meaning your knee is awkwardly jammed against it. Or you have to pivot your knees to the right to stretch out, straining your lower back.

It is also a little narrower due to the tray table being stored in the arm. If that doesn’t bother you so much, and you would like legroom, I would recommend either 30C or 30H, or even something in the 30DEF block.
