Is the back wood or cardboard like many "put it together yourself" pieces? We want to put it behind a sofa so part of the back may be visible.

Yes, it is a cardboard. It looks pretty good, but it is indeed not wood. There are also around six flat round headed screws in the back through the backing and into the interior shelves. I took a picture of it but for some reason I don't see an option on this item to post customer pictures of the product.

On another site, the description stated that there are red rubbed accents. Is it the same for this item?

It appears to be a more sturdy form of particle board or very thin laminate. The rest of the piece, however, is a particle board construction. It looks very pretty, but for the price, I was disappointed in the quality.

its cardboard and even tho its black it was a tri-fold piece so when you look at it, it has a section of tape on the two folds... definitely wouldn't look good showing, in my opinion!

Hello #Inky yes it is cardboard and need to be assembled. I was quiet disappointed but after many family & friends visited my house they liked it a lot , no do not suggest you to show the back!!!!

It does not look good from the back. It is particle board type material and the nails show. Looks good from the front though!

The back is thick cardboard. The front side (the side that you will see if you open drawers and in the exposed spaces) is "finished" - it matches the color of the unit. The back side of the cardboard is not.

parts are solid wood and parts are mdf. The top is solid wood and the back is cardboard that looks like wood. We liked the table, but we added a piece of plywood on the back and stained it to match. Nice small table for the price.

Hi Krystal, the back panel is the usual folded thin cardboard, however, this is a bit nicer (IMO) as it is grooved to look like real paneling and there are more than enough of the little tacks to hold it on. I love this piece, very sturdy. See my review for what I put on mine.

It is veneer. Both sides are finished. The back has a wood grain look fiberboard maybe. It's not the same as the sides but not just unfinished either. It's a nice heavy piece if furniture. We bought two plus the desk. We like them. Hope that helps!

There is a thick piece of card board for the back side. I wouldn't suggest you buy this b/c it's a pain to put together. I had four people try to figure it out and to this day it's still not fully put together

The back piece is actually Styrofoam material. It's wedged in, you can remove it by tilting the top toward the door than shimmying it out.

Indeed the back is cardboard. Less than one inch thick, but placing it against a wall should do the trick. That didn't matter as much to me because I knew that the wall I set it against would be additional support & would hide the back. All in all I was satisfied with the purchase, The cardboard back looks more expensive from the inside view, painted nicely, & if placed properly no would really notice that it was cardboard unless they were looking for it.

Like typical put-together furniture, it has a cardboard backing on it. It is not all that unattractive. Hope this helps.

Hi Kathleen...The back is cardboard. The bookcase looks good but you really have to know how to put it together. My husband and I never got the doors even. The bottom shelf is not aligned just right. We took a discounted price. We did not want the bother to return it. We wrote to Amazon and Ameriwood told them the assembly problems. If it came assembled it would be nice. The purpose we need the bookcase for is working for us.

It is wood. We have it against a wall It would work ok as a stand alone, too.

It is wood. It's very sturdy. Of course the backing is the thin cardboard type material.

The back is made out of a laminated type board about 1/4" thick. It slides into place in the back. It would be best placed against a wall.

The majority of it is wood. Just the back piece is not. I can't recall when I purchased this for our daughter, however, it has been used, moved, and has held up! I am happy that I bought it. Hope this helps! Happy New Year!

Although it is not real wood, I was impressed because it's pretty sturdy. Especially the back piece. Normally, it's just a thin piece of cardboard but this 1 has a heavy thick backboard that is just as heavy as the other pieces. I just got 2 of the 4 drawer chests & I'm praying that they are made the same way! I like it!

The back is made out of cardboard. The rest of the unit is made out of some kind of wood material that looks like real wood.

I honestly can't tell. It is NOT like the back of cheap furniture. It is very sturdy and well made. I love it.
