What is the rear of the hutch made of? Thin board? Cardboard? We want to put a cork board in the big opening and want to know if it will hold.

It's like cardboard with a wood finish. you would need to add some more structural support.

It appears to be a material similar to cardboard and would not support any substantial weight with materials attached to a cork board. However, it is a great computer desk. I have two of them.

It is thin woodgrain board , but as you may or may not know this makes a huge difference in lateral stability,I am not sure if cork would be stiff enough to perform the same function. You might want to consider using the factory board and covering the visible inside areas with the cork. I hope the helps.

Wood, I plug the holes in the top of the little plugs you can buy from Home Depot the little four holes on top are for the hutch that I did not purchase. I have a 50 inch plasma TV on top of it in the kitchen. Looks great

i believe it is a cheap wood, like pine, with a black laminate over it. i gave them to my daughter more than a year ago and they are still very stable.

It's actually nice wood all over except the back where you have put the cords thru. It's cardboard but matches the wood perfectly . I like mine a lot. Very sturdy

I'm not exactly sure what it's made out of, but when putting it together, the pieces did not feel like solid wood. However, they are well finished and you cannot tell how light it is just by looking at it. It is also finished on all sides, so if you wanted to face it out (like a lectern) you could do that too. The main problem I had was that the holes did not all line up and we had problems getting some of the screws in. I think there was one we never got in, but we do have very heavy books on it now and it's fine.

I'm not sure what it is made of- but it could be cardboard. It's pre folded and there is a coating on it.

It is pressed wood with a light cardboard back. Like the put it together furniture found at Wal-mart.It is not sturdy and you will need to bolt to wall. I had mixed emotions about keeping or returning when I unpacked it, but I was stuck on space so I kept it.If you are looking for quality ---- move on. If you just need a solution to a small space it might be right for you keeping your expectations lower.

The unit is made of wood, which is heavy. The actual construction is fairly easy; the unit is packed flat, with every piece separate, and goes together just like an IKEA piece, with locking cams and dowels.It needs a team of two people. My boyfriend and I assembled the base and my two girlfriends assembled the hutch a day later.I would recommend help; lifting the hutch onto the base requires some strength, but the instructions are clear and concise.Once finished it is an impressive piece, and has been much admired. Good luck!

Drawers and dividers are made from cardboard. I use it to store light classroom materials.

Not really. It's kind of a cardboard back....but this looks nice and the holes were lined up nicely for assembly, for a change. If you use this in an area that will not get wet it should hold up well with gentle use. I had one before and it wasn't up to the over-use. Also, when it got wet, the inside paper curled up and it fell apart. Hope this helps.

Particle board. Ive already thrown mine out. I tried to move it from upstairs to downstairs and it fell apart. the dressers are all falling apart too.

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.

It claims to be wood. It is NOT solid cherry wood. (Wouldn't that be lovely?) It is particle board covered with laminate.

It is heavy duty cardboard. I gave this as a gift and they loved it. Best tea around!

Partial board. Wish I'd thought to ask that ahead of time. I does look ok once all together but make sure you have someone to help. Also the back of it is cardboard covered in contact paper.

The drawer backing is a thin particle board material. I had a few remote controls and a few heavy instruction manuals in the drawer that happened to bow it's shape. Made it difficult to open unless you lifted the board up from underneath. Would not suggest placing anything heavy inside.
