If the box is a separate box attached to the center console, the number of parts is large, and the cost increases as compared with the case where the box shape is integrally formed on the center console. In order to obtain the structural strength of (1), a sufficient reinforcing connecting portion is required as a whole, so that an increase in weight is unavoidable because a separate box is attached to such a portion. Therefore, if a lid is attached to the frame body to improve the aesthetics of the center console, the box part can be formed integrally with the center console, so the number of parts and the assembly cost can be reduced, and the weight can be reduced. Since the body needs a support structure for supporting the rotation of the lid, the overall weight reduction and cost reduction effect are poor. Further, since the support structure is formed in a frame body having a limited width, if a screw or the like is used when assembling the lid body to the support structure, the support structure portion is deformed by the pressure applied by the fastening work, and the pair of support structure bodies is deformed. In some cases, the distance between the lids may change and the lid may not rotate smoothly or may be damaged.
