Is the back finished or unfinished? (I want to use it as a room divider.)

This item was given as a gift. She says it is finished, she really loves it, that it would work well as a room divider. However, the screw covers are small and hard to put on. She says you don't really need them. Hope this helps.

It comes with 5 backings. You could use the bins for the ones without backings.

There are small square made of cardboard that you tack to the back; if facing another room not very appealing.

Hi Martha, The back is not finished on this item. I hope you find this information helpful. - Crystal, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

I just put one together. Only the front and sides are finished. The back is NOT finished, so it would not work as a room divider, unless, of course, you wanted to paint the particle board white.

Completely unfinished. I didn't paint it. I stained it. It took the stain like a dream. Required very little sanding. For the price this is a very nice piece of furniture. Heavy wood. I imagine if you want to paint it there would be no problem.

The back is finished- drawers on glides- it's a very nice/heavy table. I have all 4 different tables in this set

It is unfinished and fairly well sanded. You would be able to paint it right out of the box before assembling.

It is unfinished. Whether or not you stain/paint depends on your style. We left it plain, but may paint at some point.

Yes it is unfinished . It can be painted or stained. I stained mine and it looks great!

It makes a great room divider...that's what I use mine for...finished on both sides.

The back is a smooth finish wood (composite) panel. Yes - you could face it towards a room to make a section.

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.

No, the backside is not finished. Also, the center part of the hutch is stained cardboard, which makes it warp a little with humidity. Huh, now that I see the other answers, it looks like you're not getting a clear picture of what the back looks like. Without pulling it away from the way (it's heavy), I can't tell you absolutely what it looks like. My husband just said definitely it's not finished. Hmm. Good luck with this.

Mine is unfinished but sanded so well, I hadn't even really noticed. The wood is very nice.

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.

The back is somewhat finished. Parts of the back are pressed wood/cardboard, but they do match the finish.

Is the back which i cannot see in the picture finished or is it an unfinished masonite back?

I had to go check because the back of mine is against a wall....no, the back of the drawers are not finished (like the rest of the desk).
