The luggage room board 1 includes the luggage room board main body 2 made of resin and is configured to be opened and closed. For example, a tape-shaped cushioning material (non-woven fabric) is attached to the luggage room board main body 2 along two sides orthogonal to a rotation center line serving as the rotation center of the opening and closing operations. At one of ends 20a of a non-woven fabric 20, a concave portion 30 is provided on a surface of the luggage room board main body 2 to which the non-woven fabric is attached, and the end 20a of the non-woven fabric 20 is attached so as to enter the concave portion 30. The concave portion 30 is formed such that a depth gradually increases toward the end 20a of the non-woven fabric 20.
