Aside from the door's storage space, I don't think there's a center area for passengers to place their drinks when you have the captain's chairs. There's around 17 cup holders in the cabin, I'm sure each passenger should have one within reach.
We have been looking for over a year. My daughter is special needs so we had to get a bigger car...can only get in on one side of the car but doesn’t have use of right hand to put drink cup in the door holder. So I am still looking too.I know this is a old post but I am still looking for a center console option for my 2018 atlas with captains chair.. anyone find anything yet?
So, last year I built a mockup out of plywood just to see how it would fit/work. I think you could find a local woodworker who could make something for you. I'd try joining a community group on Facebook and asking if there are any skilled woodworkers who could help you and your daughter out.We have been looking for over a year.

I'm with you on building a nice box and I even ordered a console armrest to put on the top. Now I need to find out where to get the Shetland colored fabric to cover the box..So, last year I built a mockup out of plywood just to see how it would fit/work.

My only caution would be to make sure that there is something anchoring it to the seat bases as you don't want it becoming a projectile in a sudden stop or accident.
