I found it easy..

the base just fits into the origial cup-holder and there is a bracket with screw holes to secure it (I haven't used it though, as it seems secure without)

Un-obstructive? yes, it can be slid forwards or back to suit yourself

Quality -- I haven't seen an original VW armrest, but I believe this is good. Leatherette top with chrome detail.
Two compartments inside (a slim one and a deeper one), magnetic closure on one. There is a cup holder (and an Ash Tray!) for the rear passengers

the seller appears to based in China, but it only took a week to arrive, so they may have UK stock....?

Finally got round to ordering one albob same as you. About 2 weeks for delivery. Looks like enough space in them for my shades & dash cam.
Cheers. If it is as good as it looks it should be a bargain. Stop things rattling about in the tray!!
