I think the cabin is ready.
Cabin monuments are installed at Station 59 before the fuselage join-up (at Station 50);
Part of the cabin will be installed then at Station 40, mainly cabin panel;
Seats will be ready after the a/c move out from Station 30;
Then the a/c will roll out to perform ground test at Station 18 followed by painting;
Station 20 will be the last stop for engines installation and cockpit furnishing.
It's a brand new process.

MSN 6 and 7 had to undergo some structural modifications, therefore Airbus waited to install the cabin until the latest moment (no seats were installed in Station 30). Nothing to be worried about though.
Future A350s will follow the 'correct' procedure.

The press release also confirms the cabin is not ready yet.

Seems that MSN6 has been applied with its test registration (F‑WZFA). This means first flight should follow shortly.
