It's purpose is directly related to woodworking.

Looks like it would go over the center console to make a flat surface.


It'll never work! The top front/rear edges aren't angled to match...

Close. Your answer is missing one word.



The missing word is *base*.

It goes over the center console *base* to make a flat surface.

In my 06 Odyssey the center console was hinged to the side of passenger
seat and open underneath. Wide boards (up to 12") could slip underneath
but the height of the stack was limited. Fold the console down and 10"
wide boards could be stacked pretty high. Maximum length was just under
11'.

On the 17 Odyssey, they "solidified" the console. Nothing can go underneath.

But it comes out...

The bottom profile matches the floor on each side of the base. The angle
results in the top being level with back of the cargo area of the van.
Rubber pads front and rear of the stack will protect the wood from damaging
anything if (when) something slides.

I may need to paint it "Truffle". ;-)

I'm pretty anal about keeping my vehicles clean and un-dinged up, even though
I haul a lot of stuff in the Odyssey's. Cardboard for the sides, moving
blankets on the carpets, etc. My 06 looks immaculate compared to some of the
16-17's that we were looking at.

The one I bought is Certified Pre-Owned, so it's in really good shape and I
plan to keep it that way.

Hitch and ATF cooler going on this weekend.
