The shock absorbing member includes a cross-shaped rib including four ribs coupled into a cross shape and arranged perpendicular to the door trim, an outer wall portion coupled to a side edge of at least one of the ribs and has a contact edge in contact with the door trim, and a mounting bearing projecting from the contact edge along the door trim and configured to be fixed to the door trim together with the cross-shaped rib and the outer wall portion. The movement restricting members restrict the ribs from moving relative to the door trim at side impact.
