Do these bins need to be placed against a wall? Is the back wood or just a board?

The back is made out of a laminated type board about 1/4" thick. It slides into place in the back. It would be best placed against a wall.

Currently have our two bins stacked together and held together with 2 brackets. We do not have ours agains a wall. They are very sturdy and very solid. The back is a thick board, but again, is very sturdy. My 2 year old throws her toys in there and we haven't had a problem. We are VERY happy with the purchase of these bins!

No they do not have to be placed against a wall. They are pretty sturdy and steady. They are infact all heavy wood!

Hi, the back of the unit is not finished so you will have to use it against a wall. Thank you so much!

the back is the thin board like what you find in Ikea type drawer bottom, not quite wood but not cardboard either. I hope that helps.

It is wood. We have it against a wall It would work ok as a stand alone, too.

They have a backboard. My husband hooked them to the wall that way out Toddler wouldn't pull her books off the shelves. With a little weight, they tumble forward.

It's like a regular book shelf. The back is cardboard. Not sure how you would hang it on the wall though.

The sides and back are thin pieces of pressed board that slide into place. They match the rest, but aren't used for stability. The frame, drawer fronts and top are solid.

The back is finished wood just like the rest of the desk. Would look fine not sitting against a wall.

I have mine against the wall, it is solid for my purposes, it is a great value for the price. Hope you are happy with it.

You can use just one side and lean it against the wall. You would need a flat wall though with good enough bounce. We've tried concrete wall and it works just fine. Our kids use both sides leaned against separate walls when they want to practice at their own pace.

Sure, it can be put up against a regular wall. No problem. BTWm I've had it about a month now and it's just fine. If you don't "need" fancy furniture this is a very nice solution.

Yes, the wall will keep the drawers in place by providing a stop. You have the option of installing the wheels or not during assembly.

It has a straight back and, yes, can be placed along a straight wall. I am very happy with this unit (despite the damaged box it arrived in and the small nicks in it. Very noticeable when taking it from the box and trying to assemble it but once put together it looks great!)

You can use hooks although it will make the top of the bin stand out from the wall, but this will not effect its use

Not really they are kinda flimsy. I added a board to the top and bottom to attach to wall, the come with a zip tie to keep from tipping over kinda janky

The drawers can be pulled from front and back. If placed against a wall you would not be able to push them to far back. I had to remove the wheels once, tow of the wheels have the locking mechanism and I put on forward and one back by mistake. I was able to remove the wheels but it took a lot of effort. To me that seems like it wasn't designed to be removed but could be if needed.

Not really, but I bought padded headboards and just propped them against the wall behind the frame. The frame is so tall that there's no problem with stability.
