I have just flown Upper Class for the first time, and those seats are truly horrible. I am one of those who loves to look out of the window whenever possible, and with the 45 degree arrangement, that is virtually impossible.

The reading light to me seems to be an unnecessary hazard, its in just the right position to clonk you in the temple if the driver needs to slam on the brakes during take-off

That pop-out drink shelf just below the lamp could have been designed to ensure that if you do manage to knock over your coffee (easy to do), it will finish up in your ear.

I also found the bed to be pretty uncomfortable, but thats probably just me.

Perhaps the above views are a tad jaundiced, my last flight was in Raffles Class on the 380, now thats how business class should be!
