We claim: 1. A method of making an armrest that is mountable between adjacent left and right passenger seats, comprising:providing two receptacle parts by molding a prepreg under heat in a first mold assembly to form each of the receptacle parts, the receptacle parts being adapted to have a plurality of recesses for holding personal objects, and each receptacle part having a looped wall surrounding a slot;forming an armrest frame by molding a prepreg under heat in a second mold assembly, the armrest frame including a lower frame portion having a plurality of downwardly extending legs, and an upper frame portion disposed on top of and bridging the legs; andpositioning the receptacle parts within the second mold assembly before the armrest frame is formed in the second mold assembly,wherein the receptacle parts are incorporated into the upper frame portion of the armrest frame after the armrest frame is formed, thereby providing a one-piece unitary structure having the receptacle parts and the armrest frame.
