Is the back finished? In other words, if it is visible, will it look like the rest of the table?

yes the back of the table is finished. It is completely done and finished on all 4 sides. Great table. Easy to put together.

Sorry for the delay, yes it is finished on all sides. I have been very pleased with this little table, it looks more expensive than it is. Has a nice finish and is sturdy.

yes it's a great little table- but a lot thinner than I expected - the drawer is wide enough for one remote control but all sides are finished and very sturdy - I like the wegdge one I bought a lot better but that one has no drawer

Yes, it is finished. Would look very nice as a free-standing piece. Hope that helps!

Hi Carrie,The back is cardboard, but it is black like the rest of the table. These tables are very sturdy and they assembled fairly easily. The only thing I have found is that the dust really shows because of the black finish. Similar to a black car ... everything shows on it, but they clean up well. Something to consider depending on who is doing the dusting.

Yes it is finished. It has a thin coat of something on it for protection. I love the piece. It's hard to find cabinets that are real wood any more. This piece should last for many years.

Yes. We added short legs and have been using on top of a big counter for a computer. It is a dense and solid piece of wood. One side was gorgeous, the other not so much but still pretty enough for a table. I would not say it is unfinished, but it's not fine furniture. We did not do anything to it and looks fine in a brand new house

The back is finished. The only side that does not have a smooth finish is the side with the drawer. The color matches the desk so it will still look nice if your putting the desk somewhere where it would be seen by others (not against the wall). Hope this helps!

Good afternoon, The back of the table is finished as well as the front and sides. You certainly could use it with the back side facing other people. I have had this table for several months now, and I am very happy with it. The original delivery left a badly damaged table top, but Amazon stood behind their promise. They sent a replacement and picked up the original with no expense or work for me. Good luck. Sebastian Paquette

Yes. It is finished on all sides-including the back in black. It is a lovely table that sits next to husbands recliner.

Yes, they are finished there and they are beautiful tables, but make sure to look at them closely when you first receive them to make sure that they are not damaged from the strapping that they use to keep them from being damaged in shipping. We had to send the first one back for a replacement and the replacement came with a tiny mark also, but we did not send it back. Hope this helps you.

Not finished from back. Its wooden in color with texture like cardboard. However its smoothed out so doesn't look rough.

I put it together 4 years ago. The left side with the door, the back was made of that hard cardboard, I don't think it will finish well. the desk is against two corners so I can't see the back.Sorry.

Hi Carol, yes the back is finished? I love this piece it is in my bedroom & is just the right size to help me keep organized.

Hello Kristina, The 5 1/2" back section which holds the front drawer is not finished. Being a 1/2 round table I would think that the finish on the back wouldn't matter very much because the back would 99% of the time be up against a wall or used as an end table. Kristina, I just Love my table and think you would also. It is a lovely and attractive piece of furniture. Sincerely, David E.

It's finished like the rest of the cabinet but I believe it's not the same kind of wood, it may have come folded because I see a faint horizontal line. The hinges at the back of the top are also visible from the back. So a very informal/casual coffee table, maybe, but you'd have to take everything off the top to open it.

Yes, the entire back is finished: all wood surfaces are finished on both sides.

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.
