Good Product I realy like how it works,the only thing is I have a standerd trans and it has to be positioned out of the way of the stick shift or the seat has to be all the way back.

I bought this for my work truck, 2009 Silverado WT. It holds all my stuff and keeps it from being a box of mixed junk. It is heavy, rugged, and well made. It matches the interior well and is a decent arm rest. The cup holders are non-adjustable and too small to keep tall bottles securely. The cup holders do protrude into the dashboard area as previously mentioned, making getting things in and out of that part a bit tight, but not impossible. It is belted onto my seat, but still has a tendency to tip when I lean on it to get in (maybe I'm just whining here). I keep a box of nitrile gloves, a day planner, tissues, wallet, tape measure, calculator, sunglasses, phone, phone charger, pens, flashlight, hat, etc. in there it holds a lot!Best Deals for Wolf 38001200 Deluxe Vinyl Contractor's Console - Black
I found myself going from a truck with a console to one without. I am a contractor and missed the extrra room immediately.

I bought this for my father for Christmas. He has a Chevy Silverado. His truck already had built in cup holders, which we thought were going to be a problem with the fit of the console, but it worked great! The console fit over top of it without a problem! I would definitely recommended this product to anyone... it seems very durable and goes great with the interior!!Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Wolf 38001200 Deluxe Vinyl Contractor's Console - Black
This had me fairly excited when I first opened it, because it's very large, and was just was I was looking for. However, after "installing" it, I noticed it had some short comings that made it a good console, but definitely not great. A few improvements, and this thing could be better than many factory consoles.CONS first.
The strap on the underside which accepts the seat belt (to hold the unit in place) is too small to accept a regular seatbelt. This was the first obstacle that was a huge problem, and could have been fixed with the slightest of testing. If they had taken some design tips from the baby car seats, they could have come up with a rock solid solution instead, they chose a backward solution that was easy and cheap.
The main compartment flap opens towards the front of the vehicle, which is opposite of any console ever made. They did this so you could have a notepad on the reverse side which could be written on great idea, except the flap doesn't even come close to going to the flat [writable] position without breaking the hinge. I think they also did this because most would be installing this on a bench seat which would not allow the flap to come to a resting rear position. Its hard to tell if this is a design fail, or well thought out solution. The negative here though is that you can't write anything on the notepad design that is claimed in the description. When I tried, the wood and hinge starting crackling like it was going to break.
It has some plastic "storage" compartments inside, and I'm not sure what a few of them do. One of them is either for about six cassettes (yes, tapes) or three CDs. Yikes. I would prefer that space just be forfeited to the larger space.
PROS:
This thing is big. It has a large compartment, a smaller compartment (both with top "flaps"), and then two drink holders which are very well positioned, and a couple of random small change/key holders, etc. Very cool design overall.
It's long enough for any seat. I have a Ford Expedition with the bench seat, and this hangs over an inch or two, couldn't ask for a much better fit without it being custom. BTW, I got the black option, and it is all black... looks good, not cheap. People don't even notice its aftermarket.
Final thoughts:
Other than the few design flaws, this is a good console. The seat belt strap drives me wild, because I can't imagine any seatbelt I own that will fit through the provided loop. Because of this, the console isn't held down tight and I had to rig up something with zip ties... this is why I'm giving this 3 stars. For the price I paid, this should be rock solid. My big drinks at the front of the unit cause everything to tip forward, and if not checked, the whole unit will slide off the front.
For future consoles How about a 12V cig lighter input on the outside of this, so there could be a plug on the inside, like most factory consoles? I really miss that, but didn't expect to see it in aftermarket stuff.
UPDATE (after about 3 weeks of ownership):
I've upgraded this to four stars because the console, overall, is very good. Once I became accustomed to it, I don't want a fixed console anymore. This console is sturdy, and I have come to love the way the compartments are laid out. Someone saw it yesterday and demanded I tell them how they could buy one, ASAP. For the money, although expensive, I think this console is the best out there.
