A console assembly including a frame and a door is disclosed. The door includes a storage compartment in which an article may be stored. The door is coupled to the frame for movement to the frame between a closed position in which the storage compartment is inaccessible, an opened position in which the storage compartment is accessible to store or remove the article and an intermediate position between the closed position and the opened position. The console assembly further includes a spring coupled to the frame and/or the door and a cam surface on the frame or the door that engages the spring. The spring is compressed by the cam surface when the door is in the opened position to move the door toward the intermediate position.
