Good concept though, keep working on it you're on the right track.
you better tell the aftermarket console company's that :P actually your mostly right, MDF using the construction here has no place in a Jeep but can be used if done right

tack together with nails then use some fiberglass sheets and resin on all joints then seal the lot with a epoxy resin or estapol etc then cover with the coverring of your choice vynl or carpet etc this is what just about every aftermarket custom made interior from any auto trimmer has done and lasts fine including the auto sound that have massive harmonic vibrations to deal with
