1E and 1F on the 752?
Those are the only two seats that my travel companion and I could get together. I know they don't have any bulkhead cut outs. Does the legroom feel really cramped? I'm 6'1. Does the footrest go all the way up as in to the manual horizontal or does it reach against the wall? Thanks

Terrific seats. Plenty of room. No one ahead of you to recline into your seat. The only (minor) disadvantage is that at night TATL, you'll get a little more light from the galley.

I'm about the same height and have never had a problem in 1E or 1F (although, I prefer 1A or 1B).

Are you reading seatguru by any chance?
Seatguru has an anti-bulkhead bias, and I've found many of their bulkhead warnings to be not nearly as bad as they say.

Very true for CO as CO tends not to punish a bulkhead passenger. UA, on the other hand, has some pretty miserable bulkhead seats. In those cases the SeatGuru warnings are, IME, quite accurate.

NW and DL too. no love for the bulkhead seats. Ive found all Bulkhead seats on CO to be far roomier (leg room wise) than the aformentioned. the only exception being the most recent config of the 735. not so much.

galley light/noise reduced in 1E/1F
You will be happier in these than any other row, so long as you don't mind hearing the chatter/food prep happening in the galley. The seats have ample leg room, the chair reclines properly, leg rest extends fully, and no one reclines into your lap. You will be able to reach out and touch the person in row 2, but I'm sure you will refrain
The person in 1F can access the aisle even with 1E reclined and footrest elevated.

Also, to the OP, remember the manual switch that can be used to extend the footrest even farther than the power switch allows.
