Hi everyone,
Here's some more information about our new premium-cabin seat, which will be installed on more than 200 aircraft.
http://newsroom.united.com/2015-09-1...wbody-Aircraft
Features of the new seat include:
At 21.1 inches wide, the new United First seat is wider than the current seat and will have numerous custom-design elements and premium finishes.
The seat will debut on an Airbus A319 next week, with retrofits on A319s, A320s and many Boeing 737s and 757s through 2016.
A video of our new narrowbody cabin design is also available at http://newsroom.united.com/signaturecabindesign_video

OK, laptop storage is nice. And I guess I like granite cocktail ledges (??) and tablet grooves. But... other than the laptop storage, isn't this kinda underwhelming?

Looks like a derivative of the B/E Aerospace MiQ seat, similar to what is installed on the AA A319/321 and 737-800s.
Bring your own pillow, bring your own device entertainment, bring your own water bottle.

The seat cushion looks short, and I don't like the open sides. That design (NW used to use one like it) allows everything to fall off on the floor rather than to the side of your lap. Padding looks thin.
The only good thing is it looks slightly raked back (like the sUA seats, but not the sCO ones) which is my primary beef with the streight up CO seats. I can't lean back in them until after take-off.
