Default Storage space

Let me start off by saying I absolutely love driving my ES. But one of my pet peeves with this car is the lack of storage space.. Other than the center console, there really isn't any convenient place to put keys, wallet, sunglasses, etc etc... well today I just stumbled upon a product that I think might be the solution and it's pretty cheap. My only concern is is it slim enough to fit between the console and the seat? I've included a pic or two from their web site and a link to the site so you can get a better description of the product.. NOTE: I'm not endorsing this item, I just think it might work and wanted to get your opinions. https://blackeyesco.com/products/las...TcWrmiUhzsV2YQ

I think they will distract from our nice looking interior. Do you have a center storage tray?

Wife's '13 ES350 is lacking compared to other vehicles of that "era". I wear glasses, so just use clip on sunglasses, lay them on the shelf where the nav/radio screen is, along with my cell phone there too. The 10# brick of onwers manuals had been moved to the trunk which doesn't help while going down the road. LOL.

Two oddly spaced cup holders is all there is in our 350, and the cheapo spring loaded stabilizer in the cup holder is annoying when it clicks or releases the water bottle/cup.

There are cheaper options on Amazon that are similar. This would seem like itd be too bulky looking in my car.

Freds430, I wondered about the aesthetics of the product.. and yes, I do have a center storage tray, it's just not big enough for my phone, keys, etc. Since my phone is synced to the car's blue tooth, I normally just stick the phone up on the dash area where the nav screen is, or I'll just stick it in the center console..It's not a big problem, but at first I thought this "storage" product might solve my concerns.. but I just went out and looked at the gap between the seats and the center console.. aint much room there.. and then I went back and looked at the pics of this product... looks like the "storage compartment " will actually rest on about 2 inches or so of the edge of the seat... I'm a big boy and don't think I want to share my seat with that product so one of us would have to go.. and it won't be me. lol.
