FAQ
Are armrest cup holders reliable?
Often yes—if the armrest is firm, flat, and the holder is deep enough. Geometry matters.
What do they not solve?
Mid-couch placement, seams, deep cushions, and portability across carpet/game night.
How do I quickly test one?
Place the drink, then simulate real bumps (knee brush, shifting). If it wobbles toward tipping, it’s not reliable.
