Well, if you're going to say no to everything, including the middle seats in 2-3-2 (have you actually tried one?), then maybe Club World - or maybe BA - is simply not for you. Most of us don't seem to encounter the terminal difficulties that have beset you.
Having recently done three sectors on CX, I don't think that there was much more storage in those seats that could be used before the cruise. All of the good big storage spaces seemed to be placarded along the lines of "no stowage during taxi, take-off and landing". (Enforcement by cabin crew, of course, was another matter.)

Well you kept some of the previous CW wash / shoe bags did you not? So:
You can put on the other side of the screen, or angle the screen towards the seat, so that it doesn't disturb you during sleep. There is also the coat hook at the far end of the unit from the seating end, after the privacy screen.
You can also put the table upwards as if to prepare for landing, then open it slightly and use the resultant gap to store water bottles, spectacles (etc).

Unfortunately, no, I didn't keep the old shoe bags in anticipation of needing them to store stuff on future flights. The coat hook is a good tip, for shirts etc. I love the angled upwards table idea for water bottles, must use this one for certain so thank you!
This all feels a bit like a Duke of Ed forum on bivouac camping

Two great tips, thank you! the footstool wedge is good idea, hopefully not devalued by an overzealous CC person. Your suggestion for the drawer lining is the best use of the Daily Mail ever. I will now take a copy on boarding without fail!!!!

I suspect you aren't someone like me who has spent countless nights around the world in a 6'x4' pup tent in perfect comfort. An overnight stay in a CW seat is 5* comfort in comparison even without a personal chest of drawers to store your belongings. 
Although I haven't had a problem in CW I seem to remember my missus had a bit of a tantrum when she mislaid her specs for all of 30 seconds.

@:-) The coat hook!!!
I’ve flown CW to the moon and back twice and never realised there was a coat hook. Every day on FT is a school day.
Is this it?

Pert of me cannot believe that we are discussing pretty basic stuff (where to put things) in BUSINESS CLASS on a world famous international flag carrier! And it's not really about optimizing things as we lite to do so much, it's about where do I put my water while I sleep so I can easily access it. Hopefully the new CW will address these shortcomings.
