Is the back of the desk finished, meaning could I place in room with back of desk facing the room entry and the 'back of the desk' would look ok?

No! It's just a cheap particle board, dark brown like the rest of the desk, but doesn't look very pleasing at all... Plus has holes for the cables... meant to be up against the wall.

Yes, the back is finished so it is meant to sit out exposed. Just note that there are a couple of holes cut out for cable routing.

Fantastic desk. Great quality materials & construction. Delivered totally assembled Back is not finished. Must be against wall or other furniture.

Sorry for the delay in answering. We were out of town & couldn't remember. No, the desk is not finished enough to put the back facing the room. It is more of a dark plywood look instead of wood like the front.

Yes. We noted prior to buying concerning some of the comments about the finish. We are delighted by the condition of our desk and have not painted or stained it.

Yes.....The desk has a finished front. BE prepared for the assembly of this desk !! It took 2 men 3hrs to put it together.

No, the backside is not finished. Also, the center part of the hutch is stained cardboard, which makes it warp a little with humidity. Huh, now that I see the other answers, it looks like you're not getting a clear picture of what the back looks like. Without pulling it away from the way (it's heavy), I can't tell you absolutely what it looks like. My husband just said definitely it's not finished. Hmm. Good luck with this.

Technically you could put the L on either side of the desk. But I would not recommend it if you are going to add the hutch. So far we have not had an issue with the hutch.

No, it's not. The back is just a thin layer of board that is nailed in. The color mathes the desk but it wouldn't look presentable if you wanted the desk outward facing. I think it only works against two walls. Hope that helps!! :0)

Not really, but you can get creative like I did and cover the back with pictures or posters. All in all I love this desk. Great for large monitors 28" 30". I put lights in mine. Great Buy!

The desk is very dark and probably would not match your cherry pieces. Still, it's a very pretty desk and we love ours!

The cabinet is not versatile to be put on the other side, unless you don't care that the back of the cabinet sticks out past the desktop a few inches(which wont look too good). The desk was made so that the cabinet side desktop is deeper than the opposite side. Hope this helps.

The back is just a cardboard panel that get nailed in. The finished wood look is actually on the inside of the shelves and the back is black. I guess you could reverse this piece so the finished side is facing out, but still just cardboard, not wood.

Hi Jeremy, The back is finished so that you do not have to have this against a wall. It would be in the finish that you selected for the entire unit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you any further concerns. Sandy, Owner Best Kitchen Products

The back is finished. The desk is completely presentable from any side. We did not experience any problem with alignment.

Yes, the back of the desk does reflect the same style as the sides. There are no drawers or handles on the back side. In my opinion does not have to be against the wall.

Hi Tracey - yes it is finished and can be placed anywhere. In-fact I use it as a side-desk so the back is completely exposed. It's a really really solid and good-looking desk, I'd highly recommend it.
