Is the back side of the stand finished? Can I turn it around if I want the compartments to be on the left?

Yes, you can reverse the stand as long as you do not plan to use the drawer. It only slides out in one direction - the drawer guides are closed on the 'back' so the drawer won't push through on the other side. I took the drawer out anyway because I wanted more space underneath, and I'm using it as a document tray on my desk.

Yeah, but there are blocks in the back that prevent the drawer from being opened that way or from slipping out.I'm sure with a sturdy pair of pliers you could bend it out of the way

Yes and yes. I turned one of mine around to switch compartment positions myself. If you do this, the drawer becomes more of a shelf because it won't slide out. I use mine for "working documents".

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.

Yes, both sides of cabinet are finished. I do not connect to anything either. The cabinet is in the bedroom and looks fine as a separate piece of furniture. It fits my needs completely and I like the looks of the cabinet. I am not completely sure what you mean about the 2 brackets on the right side of unit. However, there are two, basically plastic, inserts into each side of the unit. They insert into a fitted whole in the upper back of each side panel. I suppose they provide for the connectivity if one were to add on to the cabinet. They are not that noticeable to the eye and do not distract from the looks of the unit as a piece of furniture. At least that is my opinion (a male).

Im guessing you assembled the front of the drawer upside down. I did the same thing on one of my and the drawer would not close all the way. It would hit the bottom lip of the stand. Hope this helps.

S. Hoge,Yes.In the image on the right below is the limiting depth and the left side has a lock on the stand.This lock allows you to use inverted for example. Works well for light activities.

Yes you can turn it around since it is plain on the back. If you don't want a viewing window I would buy a different style since the clear view does make the box less sturdy and solid. I wanted it for purses but find I made it to heavy and it folds when I lift it down from the closet shelf.

It is finished on both sides, so you'll be fine. However, it is not very stable (see the small base in the pic?), so I'd recommend you at least try to see what it looks like without it (so first shelf directly on the floor). I only realized the issue after I had finished the installation.... so I kept it upside down! (it's 'modern' design, right? Well, I made it even more 'modern'), all good, looks as nice as the pic, no issues!

Yes the item is finished on both sides. There may be stickers with the part numbers on them that you will probably want to remove however. It really is a lovely piece!

I think that it is only one side. I had to fix two drawers and ordered four of these.

I am not completely certain, as I assembled it as shown, but looking at the pieces it does look like you could reverse it. The assembly points seems symmetrical.

The left side of the magazine rack has a non-finished face so that you can nail the backboard on the table. If you tried to reverse it you would be showing the non-finished edge

There is very little "back" to the desk, given that it is mostly open. But, yes, all sides are finished so you can position it anyway in your room.

The cabinet side is on your left, exactly the way it appears in the picture. It is not designed to be reversible.

I purchased the set a few months ago and my husband put it together. He said it comes with instructions to put it on either side. I have it exactly as it shows in the picture, but the part on the right hand side can go to the left of the shelf/drawer.

There doesn't appear to be hinge holes on the left side, so no, it is not reversible.

In my case, the back side is partially unfinished. The back boards below the desk top (the area that the drawer in front occupies) is smooth particle board with no wood veneer. It's odd though, because the side of the boards facing the underside of the desk do have wood grain to them. So your knees, when seated at the desk see wood grain, but someone standing behind the desk wood see particle board. Maybe you could flip those boards around when you assemble (or perhaps i put them in backwards by accident). Otherwise it's a decent looking desk. I've used mine for years.

Yes, it is unfinished. I left mine that way, but it can be stained if you prefer doing that. It's very sturdy and good looking, although a bit dicey to put together.....holes not lined up and drawers needing to be planed down in order to fit, but definitely worth it. I've had mine for about a year now, and I'm very happy with it.
