An apparatus, comprising:
- a panel having a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall, and at least one circumferential liner that extends between the top wall and the bottom wall and defining a cavity therein;
- and
- a receiver assembly operably engaged with the panel and being adapted to be received by a drink-holder assembly of a vehicle, the receiver assembly comprises:
- an upper wall of a base member that is covered by the top wall of the panel;
- a lower wall of the base member opposing the upper wall and being covered by the bottom wall of the panel;
- and
- at least one circumferential wall extending between the upper wall and the lower wall of the base member and defining a recess, wherein the at least one circumferential liner is housed inside of the recess;
- at least one retaining assembly operably engaging with the at least one circumferential wall and at least one circumferential liner to maintain the base member and the panel together;
- wherein the at least one retaining assembly is free from engaging with the top wall of the panel and the upper wall of the base member;
- wherein the receiver assembly is configured to retain the panel inside of the receiver assembly.
