A vehicle armrest includes a top member having a cushion and defining an upper surface. A bottom member is rotationally coupled to a bottom portion of the top member. The bottom member is operable between a stowed position where a top surface of the bottom member engages a bottom surface of the top member, and a deployed position where the bottom member rotates downward and shifts forward to define a lower accessory surface.
