Is there a way to run wires and cables through the back of this desk. Or would the wires have to drape over or off the sides of the desk.

There is a small slit in the backing of the desk for wires, although it is not that big, you may need to take an exacto knife and make it larger if you need to. Hope this helps

If you look at the pic you'll see most of the back is open. I ran all my cables thru the large spacein the back.

Yes, there is an opening in the back of the desk for wires. No need to drape over the sides.

Yes there is. The backing is that cheap board backing but it has a die cut hole.

With the keyboard and desk chairs, the cables are a bit hidden. Cables are unsightly even with regular desk. Desk gets dusty and rails under glass pain to clean. Still love the desk overall.

It's open in the back, it only has two side that come together. It sits around 4" from the wall if you have the desk against a corner so you have plenty of options for cords. My power strip fit back there with no problems.

I installed mine hard wired to the ceiling. There is a length of metal piping to conceal the wires. It was a bit too low for my hallway so I had to cut a few inches off with a pipe cutter. Good luck :)

Hello Ryan, I personally used the type of power cord that plugs into the back of a computer. I cut off the end that plugs into the power supply of a computer, removed about 1/2 inch of insulation of the newly exposed wire and connected 2 of the wires to the inline fan. Worked beautifully. Hope this helps.

My husband put a cable casing over top the wires. You can buy the casing at Walmart or Lowes.

I believe to do that you need to do it before you even add anything in. You must remove the hard drive bays and maybe reroute some wires. I'm not 100% haven't actually done it myself so I hope someone else can answer your question.

Unfortunately, you have to run cords/cables alongside the mount. The center piece is not wide enough to allow for cords/cables.

Yes it is. In fact my desk is in the open & not against the wall. The challenge was hiding computer cables which I managed to do. I love this desk. It is beautiful.

There isn't a place to hide wires coming down from ceiling. Only suggestion is to run wires in back of pipe and hold in place with zip ties. I mounted my cable box and gaming consoles on shelf below tv were wires are barely visible.

No no holes to put electrical cords, I suppose you could have one made, perhaps someone might have the proper equipment to do that. It is is really a neat little desk. I like it very much Hope this will help.

Bend back the blue wire, if you don't need ac and tape it to the other cable or sleeve it with split conduit(wallmart), this should keep it looking clean

The cables can be run in the middle vertical column. Anything on the shelves will have the cables freely out behind it, but they may be routed up to the TV through the column if that makes sense. I'm pretty happy with how it worked out on mine.

You can run wires behind the section where the DVDs are (hard to see in the pictures), but to access them once the stand is mounted is difficult unless you have very small hands that can reach through the holes. But it IS possible to hide the wires if you just plan on putting the tv as pictured (on top of the stand, instead of mounting it to the wall).

I place my laptop on the insert table/shelf and leave a bit of slack in the cable to allow for opening and closing and securing the cable with a velcro strap to the inside back panel. There is not a hole through the panel to route the cable but in my case, the exterior of the back panel is visible (as opposed to being up against a wall) so that's less preferrable.

Negative. The cables will need their own path through the desk surface. You may be able to custom engineer the washer that sits under the desk surface with some cable slots. Short of that the cables will not pass through the down tube through the desk top. Caveat: "I am using the clamp method."
