First impression: I was a little disapointed when I saw Addy's trunk in person. The wood felt thin and cheap and the newspaper didn't look like real newspaper to me. The trunk was nice but not as nice as I had expected. Second opinion: This trunk is amazing when you look at it and play with it. It stores a lot and is really cool though the wood is thin and the varnish is a strange color. No one has commented on the relevance of the newspaper article used to line the cover. It is a Harper's Weekly page about freedmen and colored troops! The bottom is lined with advertisements.
