What does the back of the desk look like? Is it finished? I am not putting the desk against a wall; will be out in the open.

Yes the back is finished. I also have it out in the open not against a wall.

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.

The back is somewhat finished. It doesn't have such a finished furniture look as the front but it looks a lot better than comparable products you have to assemble yourself... Hope that helps! I love mine- I have two units and the desk. The first file I bought around 5 years ago and it still looks and functions great!

No, it's not. The back is just a thin layer of board that is nailed in. The color mathes the desk but it wouldn't look presentable if you wanted the desk outward facing. I think it only works against two walls. Hope that helps!! :0)

Not at all! We are very happy with the desk. The piece is very heavy and looks expensive! I almost bought another that was 3x the price but was solid wood, glad to have saved the money! All of our friends are commenting on how beautiful the pieces are.

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, 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 is finished. For the money, it's a very nice piece, also easy to assemble.

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.

Fantastic desk. Great quality materials & construction. Delivered totally assembled Back is not finished. Must be against wall or other furniture.

It appears to be solid wood but it is covered in scratches. It scratches easily. I love the look and efficiency of the desk and am very pleased with my purchase. It came damaged with a chunk of wood missing on the side so they gave me a little money off. Not hard to put together.

The back of the desk is plain. Same is the case with the side. The drawers; two of them are in the front

The back is finished. The desk is completely presentable from any side. We did not experience any problem with alignment.

Hi Kayla,Honestly i do not own this desk. when i ordered it i thought it was the whole thing but, it was just a corner piece and i returned it. i apologise for not being able to assist you better. Good luck.

The back of the hutch is a black cardboard. You would also be able to see all the nails on the edges which hold it on. It wouldn't be very attractive in plain sight. I recommend putting it up against a wall. Otherwise, it is a nice desk. Very study but it was hard to put together and the instructions were ridiculous.

Hi Carol, yes the back is finished? I love this piece it is in my bedroom & is just the right size to help me keep organized.

Yes it is. In fact my desk is in the open & not against the wall. The challenge was hiding computer cables which I managed to do. I love this desk. It is beautiful.

Jeremiah, Sad to say, I haven't begun assembly of my computer desk. From the appearance of the shipping boxes, it appears that the main top is in two distinct pieces. I have never had difficulties assembling a unit suchas the computer desk. This will be a sizeable task and I know from experience it will take plenty of patience. Sorry I can't give you more info on the assembly. Please don't let assembly questions keep you from the desk.I have seen similar desks and this particular desk should be a good one. Best of luck.....go for it!
