Abstract
A seat has a seating surface and a bottom to which a sliding panel is mounted. The bottom of the seat includes a storage bin for removably holding items stored therein, which is selectively exposed by the sliding panel when translated from a position aligned with the seat to a position translated outwardly from a vehicle door to expose the storage area in the bottom of the seat. A fold-down table is pivotally mounted to the sliding panel for providing a convenient work surface and for holding items, such as bags and the like, which are easily loaded and unloaded with the sliding panel in the translated position, extending from the side of the vehicle.
