Is the back of the stand made of a cardboard? If so, is it painted both sides with the expresso color?

Actually it is a fiberboard sleeve that fits nicely in the back. Both sides are painted and it looks good from all angles

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.

The back side of the cabinet and the drawers are actually pieces of cardboard you secure with finishing nails. That is the only downside I have found with this desk after owning it for a few months now. The cardboard is finished just like the rest of the desk so it will look fine in the middle of a room as opposed to a corner. If you can get past the cardboard backsides.. After a lot of research, I decided on this one and still glad I did given the price. Most of the others in this range had complaints of the finish coming off etc. Mine has been very durable so far.

Thank you for your question. The back is beige (lighter beige) color, solid no design or decor on it. Please do not hesitate to write if you have any question or concern.

It is finished on the back side except where the draws are at the ends is it is cardboard but it does look like the finished wood I think it would look fine out in the open as long as you don't have children/pets that will fall into it or bump into it and push in the cardboard in cause once the cardboard is popped out it doesn't go back together right

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.

It's actually 2 pieces for the back. It's NOT solid wood. It's a little thicker then the normal folded type cardboard backings. The backings have to be a certain way, so make sure that it's lined up with the holes.

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!!!!

Only the center section is cardboard, the cabinet areas are wood. If I needed another entertainment unitI would choose this one.

No it is not. It is a white durable pressed wood / cardboard on the back side which has only a wood grain trim around it. If your worried about how it will look, it's best that the back faces the wall. Yet it is still presentable. The entire unit is wood - grain style. A laminate wood grain not real wood. Yet, durable and sturdy.

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.

I believe it's wood - but it's skinny skinny. It's one piece and not folded with a crease like some cardboard backs are. It's the same color as the rest of the unit - black in my case.

mine is cardboard, but i purchased it a long time ago & it has a different color scheme, etc. i feel confident from the picture that it is not plastic.

The back is a very cheap cardboard piece. It's the same color as the unit but it does look cheap. I wouldn't want to use it as a room divider myself. Mine are against the wall and look fine that way but I wouldn't want the back left exposed.

The back made of that compressed cardboard that is common on sets like this. It is black on the outside and matches the 'wood' color on the inside. If placing this with the back exposed, it wouldn't be an issue just to install the back with the wood colored side out and black inside. I really enjoy my item and it works for my application perfectly. It does scratch a little easy and I received mine with a damaged piece. I filled in the crack with a magic marker and its almost as if it never was there.

Yes, all sides are painted. I love the style of this desk but it is not very sturdy. My desk is just used for show as it is not practical for everyday use.

The back isn't finished like the sides. You can see the silver screws. It is a thin piece of board that is of the same sheen as the rest of the piece.
