Is the back of the desk finished wood like the front side?

Yes it's all wood on the desk. If you were to get the hutch for it, the backing on the hutch is more of a tag board.

Yes, it is. There is also a thin piece of wood veneer that you nail onto the back of the filing cabinet portion.

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.

Yes, the front and back of the desk is the same. I LOVE this desk by the way. It is super easy to put together and is much more sturdy than one might think.

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 agree with all the prior comments about the wood NOT looking cheaply made. The desk is of sturdy construction!

Yes, it's all finished. The piece that's used behind the file drawer has a circle cut in it for power cords but there's no raw wood or particle board showing. The side without the drawer would look fine if it was facing into the room rather than up against a wall.

I received the white finish desk and it was made out of particle board. But it feels to be very well made. I am enjoying it.

Yes. We noted prior to buying concerning some of the comments about the finish. We are delighted by the condition of our desk and have not painted or stained it.

No! It's just a cheap particle board, dark brown like the rest of the desk, but doesn't look very pleasing at all... Plus has holes for the cables... meant to be up against the wall.

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

Yes, the back side is finished the same as the front. The board the covers the back stops about 4 inches from the floor to allow for cleaning.

Yes, it's the same front and back. It's not a perfect stain job -- on both front and back, some pieces of wood are stained darker than others. But overall it looks nice and I would recommend it.

The back is a particle board that is the exact color as the rest of the desk, just not solid wood. Would look ok if it showed.

It sure is, it's lovely, back & front. The back panel is finished though it is flat. The side panel is finished on the back side as well. I hope this helps!

The back of the desk is closed off and has the same polish finish as the front. Let me know if you need anything else.

In my case, the back side is partially unfinished. The back boards below the desk top (the area that the drawer in front occupies) is smooth particle board with no wood veneer. It's odd though, because the side of the boards facing the underside of the desk do have wood grain to them. So your knees, when seated at the desk see wood grain, but someone standing behind the desk wood see particle board. Maybe you could flip those boards around when you assemble (or perhaps i put them in backwards by accident). Otherwise it's a decent looking desk. I've used mine for years.

The back is somewhat finished. Parts of the back are pressed wood/cardboard, but they do match the finish.
