What you see in the front is the same in the back, I suggest gluing the parts before putting in together will be excellent, I am happy with the two tables, good workmanship. Read the product material details.

The back is finished with the same varnish as the rest, very nice. Unlike some desks that are done with rough, unfinished backs. This could very easily sit in an open space and look great from any angle.

The back of the desk does not come with finished wood , it came with a hard cardboard back that you mount with finishing tacks.

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)

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.

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.

The answers listed here differ, but be clear that this desk is not entirely solid wood. The top and nearly every piece that you see from the front are solid wood as are the feet and all drawer pieces but for the drawer bottoms. The sides and the large pieces on the left and right of your legs when you sit at the desk are engineered wood. This is a solid desk, but it is not all solid wood.

The backside is the same as with IKEA except black. The answer saying otherwise is either outdated or wrong/a lie. I bought it based on it NOT being IKEA-like and just opened it to see the flimsy back piece. Oh well, hopefully it holds up like the other reviewer notes.

The back is a particle board that is the exact color as the rest of the desk, just not solid wood. Would look ok if it showed.

Yes, the back of the desk and the hutch each has the same black finish as what is shown in the picture. I had no trouble with assembly and although the desktop is heavy, I managed to get it upright by myself. I recommend that assembly take place on the flattened cardboard box to avoid scatching either the furniture or your floor.

Yes. The sides are the same with the exception that one side holds the keyboard. I just put the keyboard side on the right where it works better for my office.

The desk is laminate covered particle board. Legs and drawer handles are metal. While this desk is particle board, it is very heavy and sturdy. I was impressed with the quality.

the back of the desk has matching in color and grain thin particle board fastened with small nails.........I have the desk standing in the middle of the room and I have no problem with the way it looks

I can't say for certain, but my desk is not wood, it is some sort of laminate top and it has been fine. I have not had any issues.

The finish looks the same on the front, top, sides, and back, as well as in the computer compartment. The drawers have unpainted finish inside. Back is made of thin plywood.
