It is finished. I think you would see the horizontal hole used for cords if it was in the middle of the room. So it would come down to your own preference. But def finished.

Yes. The finish is the same from all angles. This goes for the desk, the bridge, and the credenza (I have the set).

Yes it is as well finished on the back as it is on the rest of the desk. Looks great.

It is not finished on back. .but if you wanted to use as a room divider I can't see why you couldn't paint ..The bigger concern would be how you would be able to secure the unit to floor. .it could hurt someone if it tipped over.even on level non carpeted floor it is tall and solid not something I would trust to be free standing

It is free standing, however I found it much more stable by a boring it to the wall. One of the issues of stability is that I have wood trim where the floor meets the wall. So it could not be firmly push right against the wall. This piece is amazing and I highly recommend it. It complimented the other wood colors I have in my bathroom.

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.

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

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.

Yes, except not on the backing of the drawers. You could reverse that back panel though since you wouldn't see the inside of it (which is finished) except when you open the drawers? All other parts are finished all the way around.

The backs are finished, however the drawers are not on gliders. We bought two of these about six months ago a we love them. Plenty of storage, the drawers open and close easily, and the finish is beautiful!

Yes, it is finished. Also, the 2nd shelf from the top (it pulls out) can be adjusted up or down.

Yes it is and can stand in the center of a room and look like fine wood from all angles. Hope this helps it is also the most easy furniture I've ever assembled. Good shopping

Yes. It is finished on all sides-including the back in black. It is a lovely table that sits next to husbands recliner.

I have mine against a wall, but once you put it together it's a beautiful finished piece.

Hi Tracey - yes it is finished and can be placed anywhere. In-fact I use it as a side-desk so the back is completely exposed. It's a really really solid and good-looking desk, I'd highly recommend it.

In the picture yes. I wouldn't waste the amount of money on this piece. While it is nice the quality lacks severly. Very flimsy unless you're keeping I'm one place and dont plan in moving it around. Hope this helps

Yes the back is also finished. Its a very nice cabinet but the color is not as pictured at all. It is more an Aqua greenish blue. I was dissapointed in that, but kept it anyway.I wrote the company and they just said "thats the way it looks with the lights when you photograph it" They did give me a discount because it was not as pictured. Just so you know, its not that color blue. Hope this helps.
