The listing for this item does state that the padded surfaces are made with a real leather covering. I can easily believe this listing statement, as the padded surfaces do have the texture and appearance of real leather. It feels somewhat thick, and seems to be reasonably tough and resistant, though I would still minimize it's contact with sharp or abrasive items.This leather material has been stretched over these surfaces with a reasonable degree of tightness, resulting in an orderly appearing surface, free of unnecessary crinkles. But there is still the impression patterns innate to leather textures, as well as stitching patterns. The stitching is well done, orderly, and looks to be strong. I see no obvious thread frays or related thread issues so far.There are 2 leather flaps that hang down on opposing sides, which do have a pocket built into them, for storing items such as envelopes. On the top of this organizer, towards what would be the back end, is a small tissue compartment. This top opening is marked by a thick metal eyelet. On the side that faces towards the back seat area is a zippered opening, which grants access to the tissues compartment for purposes of more easily refilling the tissues. In general, the size of this compartment is just right for the small travel sized packs of tissues. However, with the right skills for making things fit into places, I see no reason why users couldn't find a way to squeeze a number of normal sized tissues in there instead. I mean, if that's really what the user would prefer.Also on the top side, next to the tissue compartment, is the drinks holder, which appears to be made of reasonably durable plastic. It does have a slight curve inwards at the middle, effectively creating 2 individual cup recepticles from a single rectangular space. The 2 receptacles are each about wide enough to hold most retail bottles of water, cans of soda, small sized retail drink cups on up to medium sized retail drink cups depending on the type of retail cup used for those medium sized drinks, etc. Wether or not it can hold large sized retail drinks and home use tumbler cups depends on that item's design of it's bottom region. Such cups that taper down at the bottom will likely fit alright.Then in front of that, and also still within and part of the cup holder plastic, is a long, thin pocket area of sorts. This appears to be for holding cell phones or similiar handheld devices. And then in front of that, at what would be the front side, is nothing else but a flat and somewhat padded space. This is an arm rest, though it's not very big on account of the organizer's surface space being used up by the other top side features mentioned.The underside of this organizer is flat, but does have 2 velcro straps sewn-in. These are for securing the organizer in place. Of course, this will only work for doing that if the vehicle has an object present to secure the organizer to. Typically, this would be some version of an already existing center console or perhaps some other type of compartment with a hinged lid. Just wrap the straps around that lid and close it, being sure it latches fully. The velcro grip is reasonably strong, though not super strong, but if securely in place then it shouldn't normally move much on it's own. But if there is nothing at all to secure the organizer to, then it can sit directly on the floor, though it might slide around at times during travel.Overall, it's a good organizer, provides some convenience and tidiness, seems to be well made, and I like it. 5 out of 5 stars.

So I got this hoping to be able to put my Stanley in the higher holder and more spillable drinks in my usual cup holders in my car. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold my Stanley. It does hold a “big gulp” style cup, but only one since the cup holders are close together.Overall I like the look of it. The side pockets are handy, the tissues convenient, and it holds my coffee, a canned drink, or a disposable water bottle well. It doesn’t interrupt the usage of my center console. It doesn’t slip or move thanks to the double Velcro straps.I have a ‘21 Tucson for reference.

I have a 2011 Toyota RAV 4 and this fits on my center console. It does give it quite a bit of height, but after installing and sitting down, it turns out fine for my arm. It comes with a pack of tissues to start which was a nice addition. I don't if I'd really trust it with an open beverage in the cup holders. I'd say it fits a standard 12 oz can but trying to put a 24 oz Owala bottle or a container of hand wipes would be a no. I haven't given it a test drive with it, but I don't think it looks secure to keep it from sliding back if I bump my elbow on it or if I had to hit the breaks and for it to slide forward. TBD on that end. The material is like any faux leather car accessory you find. Its soft and pliable. One thing to note is that when you rest your elbow on the cushion with some normal weight behind it, The cushion may pull away a but from the plastic cup holder part.

This fit right over my armrest and is attached with 2 Velcro straps, it feels secure and (so far) stays in place. I wanted something that would add extra cup holders for when I go get takeout for the family. It even has a little tissue holder which is convenient as well. The material is soft and looks nice, not sure how it will hold up over time. The only downside I see to this is if you do use your armrest when driving, it would have your arm up high, and not sure how comfortable that would be. I don't normally use my armrest for resting my arm, so this works for me.

The Taurus in the USA stayed the same interior wise from 2010 to its cancellation in 2019. Mine is a 2017 and this product does not fit it at all. The straps on the bottom are not big enough to stretch across the bottom and secure this to the console. It isn't by much, but it is enough that it won't fit at all.

When I bought my 2025 Subaru Forester, I was disappointed with how low the arm rest was. I had to slouch to the side to rest my body on the arm rest. When I saw this, I thought this was the perfect remedy for this small problem. The arm rest over is overall very nice looking and is truly very functional. At first glance it seems it will be a hit however, there are flaws. The most notable is the velcro straps. These are weak links of this item as they are thin and do not do a great job of keeping the armrest cover stable. Once my elbow rests on the padding, it tends to slide back after a few minutes. I find myself having to adjust it as I drive. The straps do not stretch much, so there is no "tension" that would keep the cover secure. The cup holders and phone slot are cute, but I would never use them as I cannot cross my arm over my body to retrieve as I drive. The tissue box is nice. My kids can grab a tissue as they sit in the rear and this makes it very functional for blowing their noses or cleaning minor spills. The padding in the front is somewhat squishy and not as firm as I'd like it to be. Overall, its a nice touch to my interior and I will use it until I find it too burdensome.

The cup holders are small, just big enough for plastic water bottles. Also, the top part where the cup holders are came apart and is no longer attached to the pillow part. I would like a replacement!
