A sliding lid construction includes an upper-side lid member and lower-side lid member sliding relatively to one another, thereby changing their relative positional relationships at the open position and close position. At the open position, the upper-side lid member and lower-side lid member overlap one another in the up/down direction; at the close position, they cancel the overlap. The lower-side lid member includes a lower-side comb-shaped portion provided with protrusions and depressions on the top face in the width direction crossing the sliding direction perpendicularly, and a placement portion enabling a user to place an article thereon. The upper-side lid member includes an upper-side comb-shaped portion provided with protrusions and depressions on the bottom face in the width direction, and an inclined-face portion formed at the leading-side end in the sliding direction, and directed upward at an acute angle obliquely to the sliding direction.
