Hi All. Looking for information about this trunk. Is it really vintage?

Thank you in advance!

Based on the photos I’d say it could be vintage ala 1970s. Maybe it’s the lighting, but it looks like a light weight modern version of a steamer trunk. Is it coated cardboard or possibly thin veneer? Not trying to insult, but that’s what I see.

It's a modern trunk.

That looks exactly like a trunk I had in college...circa 1972. So a modern trunk.

I myself do not think it is that old of a trunk

Agree. Modern.

Its definitely not paper, quite possibly a thin veneer or smth similar.
