No one said boo to me about boarding with box I was flying UA and board with group 1. As I entered the aircarft a 787-10 (never flew on any UA 787) i asked the FA at the door about placing it in a closest to which she answered sorry there are no closets on this aircraft, I asked about bIz class cabin, and she said I told you there are no closets at all on this plane and suggested I put it behind the last row of seats in coach. As I got to my row (Prem Econony- new seats) I pulled down the bin to put my carry-on in it and to my amazement the bin was Huge. i quickly put my carry-on down , picked up the box and was able by slanting it get it to fit in. Success!
