"I have a bum right shoulder and driving hurts a lot without an armrest. This product fits perfectly in my 2013 GMC Terrain, and the height adjustment is great. I love the extra storage for my sunglasses! My only issue is that it makes the driver's seat a bit smaller, so my boyfriend has to remove it to drive comfortably."

"My car has no center arm holder, and this little gadget has really helped with my shoulder pain. It fits well and allows me to drive in peace now."

"I bought this armrest for my Honda CR-V, which had no armrests. It fits well and is adjustable, which is a big plus. However, the storage compartment is smaller than I expected. I might add some foam to keep it centered. Overall, I'm excited to use it for long-distance RV travels!"

"I have a 2017 black Ford Explorer and my middle console had some unsightly rips. After reading reviews, I chose this cover and I'm very happy with it! It provides great comfort when I rest my arm on it. The soft pink color is adorable and the pockets are perfect for my phone. Just a note, it doesn't cover the entire length of the console, but it fits nicely enough for my needs."

"I love this cover for my center console! I had a hole in my leather from use in my Infiniti QX60, and this cover is a perfect solution. It fits snugly, which is actually good because it stays in place. Super glad I found this affordable option!"

"This cover is fantastic! It was easy to fit and surprisingly comfortable. The side pockets are incredibly useful. I’m really pleased with my purchase!"

“I love it! It fits great and serves my purpose perfectly. I'm so glad I purchased it.”

“When I opened the package, my wife started laughing. It seems more suited for kids.”

“I had to return mine because there were no instructions on which USB port was for power. I hoped it would fit my Z3 6cyl center console, but it needed drilling, which I didn't want to do.”

"I was concerned about the fit in my company truck, but I’m pleased to say that with the foam, it fits perfectly! Installation was a breeze, and it stays in place without wobbling. It’s quite comfortable for my arm and offers decent padding. While it’s not the most elegant solution and some materials look a bit cheap, it’s a great affordable option compared to replacing the entire center console!"

"As someone who is shorter, I really struggled with the armrest in my Toyota RAV4. This universal armrest has been excellent for me! It serves its purpose well, provides storage for my frequently used items, and matches my car's interior nicely. I appreciate that it's adjustable and easy to remove. After a year, it hasn’t faded at all. I highly recommend it!"

"I found that the product did fit in my Toyota Prius Prime, but being wider than average made it uncomfortable as the plastic part pressed against my hip. I decided to remove the plastic part and place the armrest directly on my car's armrest. Thankfully, this setup suited my posture well. Just a tip: putting a rag between the armrests can prevent any movement. Overall, it doesn't interfere much and is easily removable when needed."

"In my vehicle, the Rupse Car armrest Storage Box fits perfectly, looks nice, and works great! It offers plenty of storage space and is very comfortable. I found it easy to install and use, and it feels strong and sturdy. Overall, it’s a high-quality product and a great value for the price. I highly recommend it!"

"I appreciate that the fit between the seats and console is good in my Nissan Versa Note. However, I noticed the lid doesn’t align well, resulting in a bit of side movement."

"I already have a larger armrest in my car, but I prefer this smaller version. The smooth leather material feels nice, and it opens front to back, which is different from my old one. While having a drink there could be risky while driving, I still appreciate the more compact size and the quality of the leather."

"As a Bronco owner, I found that this product offers two extra cup holders and side pockets. Installation was a breeze; I simply slipped the stretchy band around my center console. It looks good and fits snugly. Although the added height felt strange at first, I quickly got used to it. Great product overall!"

"I have a 2017 Lincoln MKC, and while this armrest fits okay, I feel the straps are a bit iffy and may not hold up for long. The armrest is comfortable, and the material is nice, but the trays, especially for drinks, are somewhat small, so I'm not entirely sure about their durability."

"I love the stitched texture and elevated elbow rest. It's especially helpful on long drives, and the addition of two cup holders for my rear passengers is a fantastic bonus. Definitely worth the price!"

"I found the installation very simple, and I was able to move it between vehicles easily. After liking the first one for the driver side, I ended up purchasing a second for the passenger side for my wife. They're extremely sturdy and a great value for the price!"

"This armrest has been a game changer for me. I struggled with resting my elbow on the hard door, but this product fits securely in the window slot and has a soft padded cover. It does sit a bit higher, but that’s not an issue for me."

"While I have a separate lifting pad on my door, I still appreciate this armrest for its height. I drive long hours daily and it has significantly helped alleviate my pain. However, I have to be cautious when rolling my window down, as it can pop out. Also, it has nipped at my window tint, which is a bit frustrating."

"I originally bought one because of the adjustability and padding. The factory armrest in my car was in a horrible position for me. After using one for a while, I bought two more for my other vehicles. The only minor issue is that if I lift my arm, it can roll off, but I quickly got used to keeping my arm down."

"Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase. However, I wish it would stick easier. My car's almost carpet-like material doesn’t hold it in place, and it tips over during turns. I found that using Gorilla Mounting Putty works like a charm, keeping it stable now."

"I bought it for my 2023 Tesla Model Y to add height to my armrest. While it seems sturdy and height adjustable, the sticky pad didn’t provide enough grip. It kept falling off every time I opened the door. Additionally, I found the length of the pad a bit short and not soft enough for comfort."

"I've noticed a significant comfort difference with this product on my armrest. It sticks well but I can remove it easily for cleaning, which is a plus!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by how much the Elbow Buddy improved comfort in my Rav4. It raises the armrest to the perfect height and has held up well over time."

"Using these on my police cruiser has been a game changer. They provide a two-inch height increase for better driving comfort, and they really stick once applied."

"I found it not very comfortable, but maybe it works better in smaller cars."

"The product is versatile, but I feel it could be more comfortable in my vehicle."
