NOT AT ALL!!! (if you are on EK 204). I took this flight two weeks ago and I will say that I MUCH preferred this segment than I did on EK 201 (A340-500) returning to NY.

The updated seats are near vertical lie flat, have walnut wood around all ports and the tv has a huge screen, - the biggest I've seen in fact. The seats themselves are multi function and are plenty wide (I am 5'11 and 175 lbs).

I too was worried about these seats and on my return flight was upset that I didn't take the 777-300ER back to JFK.

The food also happened to be much better on the outbound 777.
