Just to be clear, I did not say there are no boxes in the central section. I
don't fly there so don't know. But I would guess that they would be down one
side of the central section, so maybe all the left aisle central seats area
clear. of all the right aisle ones.
Have you looked at the SQ website, the online seat request section? It is
quite detailed and just may show the boxes (though it probably doesn't)
