A cupholder assembly forms the forward support edge of an automotive vehicle seat. The cupholder assembly includes a lid member that is pivotally movable into a opened, operative position in which the lid member is positioned to rest on the floor carpet immediately beneath the cupholder to minimize vibrations and to provide support therefor. The cupholder assembly is formed with a breakaway hinge incorporating a stop mechanism to cease the rotation of the cupholder when the lid member is moved into the operative position. A three-tiered container holder structure accommodates a wide variety of sizes of cups, mugs and other drink containers. Once the lid member is pivoted into the open, operative position, an open support area of sufficient size to accommodate fast food containers is exposed immediately behind the container holders. When in the closed, inoperative position, the lid member exposes an outer surface covered with the same material as the automotive vehicle seat so as to appear to be an integral part of the seat structure.
