Several reviewers mention no holes for wires in the back. Can the unit be assembled without the back panel (i.e., would it still be stable) ?

I remember being shocked at what a flimsy piece of junk this thing was when I bought it so even though it has three shelves, I am guessing it would just fold over sideways without the back. And yes, it has no holes in the back.

I have two of them and they work for me. I would not remove the back panel because of support reasons.The unit is design for a printer on top and paper in the inside. HOWEVER it is a simple process to put holes on the back panel.

I don't think the back panel adds any stability and i don't remember exactly how it was put together. Not sure why it would matter or not with holes in the back panel though since the printer sits on the top. I love this printer stand i have a laser printer which is very heavy and it's perfect. You could also possibly cut a hole in the back panel if you know someone with a cutter.

There are no holes in the back for cords, however we punched two holes with a Greenlee punch which worked perfectly. I don't know if the stand would be stable without the back.

It is very stable when fully assembled, but I am unable to say what it would be like without the back panel.

Yes, this is a self contained quality unit. The speakers are detached and can be placed within a reasonable proximity using the speaker wire provided.

Just got one prior to Christmas and really like the desk. Unfortunately there are no holes or tabs to route the wires.

Yes but t the back has a panel in the center so that you wires can be consealed and this nicely enhance it. Believe me it is well worth the money. Very very sturdy and overall well built.

Mine's in storage right now, but I'm certain I didn't have any wiring visible from the front, so yes, it has openings for wiring in the back.

There are no holes on the back for mounting - you could use two sided tape.

You could assemble the unit without the center shelf. There may be some small holes visible on the back. You could plug them if necessary. It is a well built and solid unit.

You can assemble it without a back panel. iIt's the last thing that goes on. It's about 5'6" tall from floor to the top shelf.

No. It does not come with any pre-drilled holes in the back that you find on many flat panel TVs/displays. You also have the problem of dealing with the adjustable stand on the back that protrudes 1" beyond the backside. Even if you solved that problem you will need to deal with the protrusion of the power plug in the back as well as USB plugs that also protrude beyond the back. For the USB plugs you would need at least 1 3/4 " clearance so that you won't end up putting a right angle bend to the USB cable. I don't know if you will able to find a semi-customizeable Display mount that will get you around the problems I have mentioned above.Good Luck.

I think u need the back panel to keep it steady but it is thin so u can probably cut spaces out for cords and ventilation.

Not without some fabrication. It does not have holes for mounting screws on the bottom/back like one might expect. The bottom does have some sort of trough that looks like it is meant for wire to flow in it, or perhaps a clip of some sort. However, no such apparatus shipped with the unit.

There are just 4 holes in the back for the wires to go through one for each slot but you could probably drill some small holes for added ventilation through the back.

It is flat on the back but you need to allow for the wires that come out the back

The unit is flat on the back so it could be mounted directly to a wall provide you had a hole for the wires

I haven't had to do it yet but I pulled out the instructions that came with it. Wording is confusing but I followed instructions and then in mine is mounted over an island. I can see the wires and arrows referred to in instructions when I look from the back side of unit. I don't want to take it apart - but if you haven't looked from the back side that might help. If I could figure out how to insert a picture I woukd send that and a picture of the (confusing) manual page. If those might be helpful to you, I'd be happy to email them to you but I'm not sure how to get my email address to you without posting it here.
