I would like to use this bookcase as a room divider and would like to know if it's finished on both sides or are there screws showing in the back.

Hi, Marnie There are absolutely no screws showing anywhere. In fact, you use small wooden pegs about the size of a jelly bean that you hammer in gently and tap in the corresponding piece and each piece is finished all the way around, so it could definitely be used as a room divider.

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 it is finished on both sides and very easy to assemble. Keep in mind that it becomes quite heavy the further along the 'put together' process goes so keep it close to where you plan to put it.

It is finished on all sides. Where screws were exposed, round decals, matching the finish, had been provided.

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.

I think there is some composite wood. I have mine full of books and papers. It is very sturdy and the shelves are not sagging at all. My whole case is loaded! It would be great for a bookcase in my opinion!

Pretty much. But you cannot tell it once the piece is assembled. I have had several of these bookcases and the back is not a problem. Unfortunately, this is one of the ways they keep the costs down. But the bookcase is sound and holds a lot. At home, mine are loaded with books and we have not had a problem. Your problem with heavy loads would be with the shelves bending but it has to be a really, really heavy load. Like I said mine is loaded with heavy books and they do fine.

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.

Shelves on both sides, the back is the wood bead board with black trim, looks good. I keep the shelf lifted as I have two counter top chairs and we eat breakfast here. It is a great island, but warning, difficult to put together. we ended up hiring someone as we aren't that great at these kinds of things. but I love my island.

It is finished on all sides, but I found it was sort of unsealed. I actually coated the top and bottom shelves with an enamel paint and that sealed it and makes it easier to clean.

Yes, it is finished on all sides. You could put it in the middle of a room if you like. There are no design features, but it it finished.

Yes there are 'slats', actually dowels, on each end of the shelves. Think of the ends as similar to a solid bookshelf. Enjoy if you do purchase. They are light weight and easy to move from room to room if the need arises.

There is not dividing material on mine. The bookcase has two parts. the lower part has 2 shelves and the top part has 3 shelves. You will assemble this unit in halves. I hope it makes sense.

Yes, except not on the backing of the drawers. You could reverse that back panel though since you wouldn't see the inside of it (which is finished) except when you open the drawers? All other parts are finished all the way around.

Yes it is. It is a very nice bookcase. We did have to get a new side as it came damaged, but the company was very good about sending it promptly at no cost to us.

You will have to get bookends - the sides are open. It's a really nice bookcase with a nice height between shelves. I really like mine.

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.

It is veneer. Both sides are finished. The back has a wood grain look fiberboard maybe. It's not the same as the sides but not just unfinished either. It's a nice heavy piece if furniture. We bought two plus the desk. We like them. Hope that helps!

The backside is the same as the rest of the material. It is NOT like the "cardboard" style backing you might see on other shelving units. Hope this helps

Hello. Thank you for your interest in our room divider. The back side is similar to the front, however it does not have the grid as on the front. It is not meant to be shown as well as the front since it is the back. Hope this answers yoour question. Please feel free to contact us with any more questions you may have. Thank you!
