Abstract: A console for storing personal items has a tub defining an inner volume onto which tub a windowed spacer guide frame defining at least a first window and a second window is removably installed. A tray is removably held within the first window, and defines at least one slot to hold an electronic device. A self-centering cup holder is removably held within the second window. The self-centering cup holder is gimbaled to a frame so that a cup or beverage container held within the cup holder remains stably supported upright notwithstanding movement or canted orientation of the tub and/or the spacer guide frame. Optionally, a snack cup is held within the second window, spaced apart from the self-centering cup holder by a spacer guide. The spacer guide has flaps that splay open to cover a greater portion of the second window as desired. Optionally, the tub is removably seated in a supporting shell.
