Is the back (i.e., the opposite of where you stand) of the desk finished? I will put this facing my living room.

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

It is veneer. Both sides are finished. The back has a wood grain look fiberboard maybe. It's not the same as the sides but not just unfinished either. It's a nice heavy piece if furniture. We bought two plus the desk. We like them. Hope that helps!

It has a thin layer that you nail on that is black like the rest of it. I have it facing out in my office. It is ok. The desk is a very good purchase in my opinion. I can send you a picture if you want to email me. melaniehaywood65@gmail.com

this piece is finished except for the back of the file drawers and the other corner shelf part. there is a solid back that runs from one corner to the next but the shelf section that has a door and the other end that has the small and larger drawers has cardboard on the back? Doesn't make sense to me they made the rest of it solid except for the two end sections? My husband and I did not like that part but it is a nice desk and we kept it.

Yes.....The desk has a finished front. BE prepared for the assembly of this desk !! It took 2 men 3hrs to put it together.

There is very little "back" to the desk, given that it is mostly open. But, yes, all sides are finished so you can position it anyway in your room.

It is finished so you can show the back. I suggest you put a glass or plexi top on it because the wood is soft. That is my one and only complaint about the desk.

Yes, it is unfinished. I left mine that way, but it can be stained if you prefer doing that. It's very sturdy and good looking, although a bit dicey to put together.....holes not lined up and drawers needing to be planed down in order to fit, but definitely worth it. I've had mine for about a year now, and I'm very happy with it.

It does appear to be. I think its a great value for the money and I have had no problems with this desk. It's perfect for my space and looks great. I'm very pleased with my pruchase

the back of the desk has matching in color and grain thin particle board fastened with small nails.........I have the desk standing in the middle of the room and I have no problem with the way it looks

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

If you are referring to the back side of the desk, yes, all pieces re finished.

The back side of the cabinet and the drawers are actually pieces of cardboard you secure with finishing nails. That is the only downside I have found with this desk after owning it for a few months now. The cardboard is finished just like the rest of the desk so it will look fine in the middle of a room as opposed to a corner. If you can get past the cardboard backsides.. After a lot of research, I decided on this one and still glad I did given the price. Most of the others in this range had complaints of the finish coming off etc. Mine has been very durable so far.

The back of the desk does not come with finished wood , it came with a hard cardboard back that you mount with finishing tacks.

Yes, there's a good bit of assembly. FWIW - I love the desk and am very, very happy with it.
