A console assembly includes an outer frame having a bin aperture defined therein, wherein an arcuate back wall extends from the bin aperture to within the outer frame. A rotatable bin is disposed in the bin aperture and includes an interior volume accessible through a rim. The rotatable bin is rotationally operable within the bin aperture between a closed position and an open position, wherein at least a portion of the rotatable bin is rotated through the bin aperture and the interior volume of the rotatable bin is accessible from above. A biasing mechanism extends from the arcuate back wall to the rear wall of the rotatable bin. The biasing mechanism includes a constant force spring that biases the rotatable bin toward the open position. A latch/release mechanism retains the rotatable bin in the closed position against a biasing force of the biasing mechanism.
