The back of this is more paper than wood. Really it is a thin fiberboard. If you are looking for a product with a solid wood backwall, then this one is not for you. I use it as a storage cabinet in my bathroom, and it works very well for this use. I highly recommend.

The backing is a heavy pressed cardboard, but I am happy with the cabinets I bought. In fact, they turned out to be nicer than I thought they would be. I moved from a house to an apartment and needed storage for some of my holiday decorations and some other household items. The cabinets have blended in nicely on the back of my living room area and I have put pictures and plants on top and they are a nice addition to the room. I am happy and satisfied with the 2 cabinets that I bought and would by more if I need them.

It came with a paper backing. I have mine in the bathroom for I have no storage. It is working out great.

At that price it's not real wood. It's some sort of composition board covered with a hard wood-grain plastic, similar to Formica. It's a lot better than particle board covered with vinyl like you might get at Walmart. The shelf seems very rigid, so I don't expect it to sag like plywood or particle board.

It is from press board. It looks like nice wood from the images they use to promote it. If you install it correctly it will be a sturdy piece but I was disappointed because the instructions weren't clear and I damaged it right at the beginning of putting it together. I asked to return it because I thought it was real wood and the color was more black. The company wouldn't return or refund my money which I thought was not good for business but they did say they would send replacement parts. It's a 50 - 50 chance if it will pass your taste?

The back is a heavy white cardboard, you nail it on all the way around and it serves to make the cabinet more sturdy. I put my cabinets in the garage against a painted sheetrocked wall, and I put a white narrow board underneath for added support. So the back not being solid wood was not an issue for me. I was looking for something relatively inexpensive that worked well and looked good. I have been very happy with my cupboards I bought three of them and went all the way down the wall.

2 very thin pieces of covered wood or cardboard. It looks fine at just a quick glance, however, mine seems to be curving, so you can tell its not real wood. hope that helps

Its basically a glorified cardboard backing. It works good for me because the back of my shelving faces the wall (of course:). It has held up well and served me well!!

Hi! Jo the wood is not real. It made similar to press board. It does look pretty once you get it put together. The wood is also very dark. Good luck with your choice.

The back is finished except for the piece where the computer tower goes. That part comes with a cardboard backing that has to be nailed in, with the little pop out holes for wires. I didn't use that backing as it's flimsy and the nails literally were breaking as we tacked them in. However, I put the desk against the wall. So if you're able to line up the carboard correctly (the fit of it wasn't great either), and don't mind the cardboard tower area back--it's colored to match the desk--you should be okay to have the back showing.

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

Hi Melody,I hate to burst everyones bubble here, although it is made from solid wood, they threw a veneer on the top of it (I know this because mine arrived with the veneer peeling off). So if you do plan to refinish it, have fun with that top veneer.

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.

It is a hard background, I would recommend not pinning anything to the back of the cabinet as it may ruin the look of it. The backing is a piece of wood, not cork-board.

The center portion has a cardboard backing the sides is particle wood back. Hope this helps out.

I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I am looking at mine and the wood is okay...not flimsy, but not heavy--the black painted part is wood too. I like it sitting behind my dining room set, and it looks good sitting there! I think if you buy it you will be happy, too (like myself and the others on this website). I purchased mine from Wayfair for $244 with free shipping, but it sells for up to $400+ shipping on other sites. I feel I got a very good buy.

It's definitely pressed wood (particle board). Wasn't as nice as I thought it would be. Faux granite, particle board -- pain in the a$$ to put together.

The backing is a paperboard backing. When attached it is very strong and keeps the unit very sturdy.

The back is essentially a thick cardstock, much like the bottoms of the drawers. It's a sheet, roughly same color as the pressboard sides/top/drawer facings, but not the same material as the tops/sides/bottom.
