hard to tell from the pics, but I think the main reason it all looks so white and plastic vs. 77W is because there is no mood lighting? I’m surprised after all the retrofit effort they didn’t install mood lighting? It would make all the difference to have a little warmth vs. this very harsh white light.

I love the red hue in F when boarding the 777. Very warm and relaxing.
I’m sure the A340 refurb was challenging because of the narrower cabin. That is probably why the “closet” is exposed. TBF, I’m not a fan of hearing the clanging hangers in the closet during turbulence in the 777.

Many thanks for the pictures, we all have been waiting for
How is the new 2nd Lavatory?
I think they installed the mood lightning, possibly it isn't functioning yet? If I remember well, they had quite some issues also on the other aircraft with the Mood lightning until it began to work ok.
Even that some details are missing, like the closet, it looks like a great product and I would take it instead of the B77W if I would have the choice any day. More quiet and smoother ride on the Airbus, and I even have a feeling that the cabin air is better than on the B77W

There is no stowage between the armrest and the windows. But hey, still a good spot to drop the pilllow, worn PJs, ...
The second toilet is on the way to the cockpit, also on the left side of the plane. So if you’re n the G or K seats you’ll have to walk through the galley all the time.
There was something like mood lighting. But I didn’t really spend attention to it.
