When both the upper and lower armrest units are in the stowed position, the center console is usable as a middle seat. The upper and lower armrest units include armrests positioned at different heights to accommodate occupants of different heights, and the upper armrest unit is supported by the lower armrest unit, which is supported by a seat.
