How solid should the center console be?

I never paid any attention to it before, but the center console on our 2007 seems a bit loose when force is applied to it side to side. It doesn't rattle noticeably when driving, or at least it isn't audible over whatever else might be shaking on a rough surface.

Not having another car for reference I thought I would ask here. Is the center console normally rock solid (no motion at all when lateral force is applied) or are they always a bit loose? Crosses my mind that maybe something/somebody smacked it hard at some point and the plastic at the base might have broken to allow more movement. Found directions for disassembly here:

but I'm not going to mess with it if "not solid" is the norm.

Thanks.
