Is the back side of this desk also black wood? I'd like to place it in my living room so that the back side shows.

yes the back is black, but I wouldn't recommend you buying it had to replace it 3 times and the fourth one still came damaged but I was so frustrated that I kept it and made the necessary repairs myself.

The back of the deck is finished in the same manner as the rest of the desk. The hutch that sits on the back has aback that is finished but it doesn't appear to be wood. I think it would look fine if the back was exposed to the room. We had no difficulty with the shipment or (minor) assembly of this desk and it looks nice in the nook it is in. It does not get daily use, just a nice repository for the laptop and miscellaneous paperwork.

Yes, the back of the desk and the hutch each has the same black finish as what is shown in the picture. I had no trouble with assembly and although the desktop is heavy, I managed to get it upright by myself. I recommend that assembly take place on the flattened cardboard box to avoid scatching either the furniture or your floor.

The back side of the actual desk is wood, but the thing that sits on top of the desk doesn't feel like wood.

Hi, Yes, it is black wood all the way around, so it should be fine if that side of it shows. It's a very sharp looking desk all around. :-) Hope this helps.

That should work just fine! It's solid black on the back. I LOVE my desk!! Just be very careful when putting it together. My husband slipped with the drill and it took a good chunk out of the wood board. I just used a black and brown sharpie to color in where the wood board chipped away.ALSO......it took HOURS to put this desk together! It comes in 3 boxes and took roughly 7 hours! It was worth the wait. It's a beautiful desk! Hope this helps :)

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.

Yes, it is black. Luckily I had absolutely no problems putting it together and I did it myself.

It is not solid wood it is veneer. the back is finished. It comes totally disassembled so it takes time to put it together. Both sides are the same. But, it is a nice piece of furniture for the price

yes it's black and I love it! It is very comfortable and looks great in our living room!

Yes & No. The back piece is the same color as the rest of the desk, but it's not the same material.

I don't know what kind of wood it is, but I am looking at mine and the wood is okay...not flimsy, but not heavy--the black painted part is wood too. I like it sitting behind my dining room set, and it looks good sitting there! I think if you buy it you will be happy, too (like myself and the others on this website). I purchased mine from Wayfair for $244 with free shipping, but it sells for up to $400+ shipping on other sites. I feel I got a very good buy.

The back is finished. The only side that does not have a smooth finish is the side with the drawer. The color matches the desk so it will still look nice if your putting the desk somewhere where it would be seen by others (not against the wall). Hope this helps!

All of the visible parts are black. The desk is made out of particle board, however, so the black is a laminate on top of the particle board. The finished look is still very high class, especially good for someone who likes antiques/vintage finds but doesn't have hundreds of dollars to spend on them!

Yes, it is. I painted the legs of the table black and stained the top a dark walnut to match a desk I have. It is sturdy and solid. Great table for the price.

I believe it does. The desk has gone to a family member, so it's no longer where I can just peek around back and look ... but I believe it does have a finished back side. It's a lovely piece. It belonged to my fiancé who didn't need the same drawer space I require (!) for me there would have needed to be bigger drawers, but he didn't, and he was very thoroughly pleased with this desk.

The backside is black. Unless this is for a young child's room I wouldn't waste my money. You can get a much better one at IKEA for $10 more..

Sorry for the delay in answering. We were out of town & couldn't remember. No, the desk is not finished enough to put the back facing the room. It is more of a dark plywood look instead of wood like the front.

The backside is the same as with IKEA except black. The answer saying otherwise is either outdated or wrong/a lie. I bought it based on it NOT being IKEA-like and just opened it to see the flimsy back piece. Oh well, hopefully it holds up like the other reviewer notes.

It is Black. This is a very nice looking table, only be sure you put it together properly or you may end up with a wobbly or loose fitting piece of furniture as my husband did. He didn't put it together very well and it is a bit loose though it is still sturdy enough to hold a large piano keyboard. We have moved it around a few times and it is still sturdy.

The back is thick cardboard. The front side (the side that you will see if you open drawers and in the exposed spaces) is "finished" - it matches the color of the unit. The back side of the cardboard is not.
