Can this be used as a coffee table? Is the back finished?

The back is finished but there is a raised lip on both sides and back for the cushion. I suppose you could use it as a coffee table if you don't mind that, we have it at the foot ofOur bed. It is not very high either.

I would not recommend it as a coffee table because it has a raised lip 3/4 of the way around the top. This lip secures the cushion; however, if the bench is used as a coffee table the pad would be removed and it would be clear the item was not designed as a coffee table.

I'm not sure that this would work that well as a coffee table particularly with the cushion top, but the back is finished.

No, and even if you could find some creative way to do so I wouldn't. It is sturdy enough to function as displayed but I wouldn't risk it breaking by trying any other way. The wood simply isn't good enough quality.

The picture shows the ottoman with the "coffee table" straddling it. Yes it can be used like a coffee table if you leave it there but we use it as a side table next to one of the chairs and use the full length of the ottoman for seating or for putting feet up.

I wish I could answer your question correctly but the table is in my vacation home. I only know that it is much smaller than I thought. I use it as a night table between two twin beds. It is very pretty but not big enough to use as a coffee table in front of a sofa.

The back is not finished. It has a elegant look from the front and very spacious. Hope this helps

Yes, the desk is finished on the back. The matching hutch (sold separately) is not and that side should be against the wall if you get the hutch. Otherwise, the desk looks great from the back.

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

I'm using this ottoman as a coffee table, between 4 club chairs, but, if need be, I would easily use it for seating. It's very sturdy. I love it!

Absolutely!!!!! You can not tell the difference between the front and the back (in terms of the finish). This piece completely transforms a room into a modern/contemporary look - amazing piece of furniture and very easy to put together. Did it with my son and took about 15-20 mins and am usually bad at assembling furniture.

The back is just a cardboard panel that get nailed in. The finished wood look is actually on the inside of the shelves and the back is black. I guess you could reverse this piece so the finished side is facing out, but still just cardboard, not wood.

I have it at a second home so I can't measure it but I sometimes use it as a coffee table. It might be a little narrow for some folks as a coffee table but I was considering buying another one to use all the time as a coffee table. When sitting on the couch we could rest our legs on it. It also worked well when we wanted to eat in front of the TV. My husband thinks it is about two inches higher than our coffee table at home. This is a great piece of furniture and well worth the price.

Good afternoon,The back of the table is finished as well as the front and sides. You certainly could use it with the back side facing other people.I have had this table for several months now, and I am very happy with it. The original delivery left a badly damaged table top, but Amazon stood behind their promise. They sent a replacement and picked up the original with no expense or work for me.Good luck.Sebastian Paquette

I use mine as a coffee table and I think it can be stained or painted. I feel this is a real cool piece of furniture with storage.

I have it against a wall but I almost put it in another place so I know it is a finished back. Hope this helps

The back is finished wood just like the rest of the desk. Would look fine not sitting against a wall.

Yes. We added short legs and have been using on top of a big counter for a computer. It is a dense and solid piece of wood. One side was gorgeous, the other not so much but still pretty enough for a table. I would not say it is unfinished, but it's not fine furniture. We did not do anything to it and looks fine in a brand new house
