Is the back of the unit painted to match the front? I expect to use the unit away from a wall.

No the back is black. I like my unit but if you buy it you should use wood glue and furniture clamps. Not very sturdy. I have to move it soon to lay tile and we will have to be very careful moving it.

It is not painted or pretty on the backside...however, we have really enjoyed this piece. You'll want it backed next to a wall if you decide to get it.

Dennis the answer to your question is the back of the unit painted to match the front? No, it is not. You could paint it to match. Sorry. Have a nice day.

No, back is black heavy-duty cardboard. I don't have my furniture against wall either, but looks okay.

No it is just a particle board on the outside. Inside is painted. We do like this piece alot

We are using it against a wall and not in a corner and it looks good. I am very happy with the unit. It was easy to assemble.

we did place it against a wall but it did not need to be. The back is a plain white fiber board with about 20 small screws. For me that would be ok, it certainly is not ugly

Nope. Comes out of the box as pictured. Just make sure you do a good job mounting it to the wall.

It's covered with black fabric on the back. I don't think you'd like it away from the wall. But against the wall it looks great. I'm very happy with it.

No. The back panel serves to provide overall strength to the cabinet. Further, it prevents the wall and wires behind the cabinet from being seen from the front.

The whole back sits against the wall! Unless you have angled paneling, but even then it works with the right positioning. Hope that helps!

I am sure it could be painted to match and hide it that way. I had a caregiver for my wife come past the screen door where the door bell was and said she couldn't find it. I is outside the screen, sometimes I wonder.

It is not finished on the backside, and designed to be wall mounted. In short, NO.

No.Our unit is mounted on the wall in a screened in porch. We used the porch often and do not even realize it's there.

Hi Lisa. Yes it does have to be against a wall. There is a backing that goes on it and the back end of the particle boards is not stained, So it would look unfinished. I hope this helps you in your decision.

The unit extends 2.5 inches beyond the mounting flange, and that's not allowing for wire out the back. It would not fit in a 2 inch think wall. I bought mine for a different purpose.

Mine was black and solved my mounting problem with an arrow wall mount; but it should't be problem to paint it whatever color. Plate is large and in my case covered some of the inputs on panasonic TV. I removed offending corner area with a hack saw.

I would say yes. Although there is some hardware (screws, etc.) showing, the back panel is painted, as well as all the exposed edges.

I have it against a wall but I almost put it in another place so I know it is a finished back. Hope this helps

The back is made out of wood, its the same color, but is much thinner material. The back has visible screws. I have mine against a wall, I would not use it where the back can be seen.

It is not, but I made mine into a corner unit by cutting the back two corners shorter and placing a top piece of wood on it. Email if you want pics.
