Is backing like a thin wood or more like paper/cardboard like? Thanks?]

it looks like thin wood and is painted the same color as the rest of the stand-was no issue for me.

The backing is fiber board... not quite a quarter inch thick... maybe 3/16"

As with most bookcases these days (except expensive ones) the backing of this boockase is made of compressed cardboard which you either nail or screw on. For me this wasn't an issue; it still looked nice, and the rest of the bookcase is good quality for the money. I bought the white. Hope this helps.

It is pressed wood with a light cardboard back. Like the put it together furniture found at Wal-mart.It is not sturdy and you will need to bolt to wall. I had mixed emotions about keeping or returning when I unpacked it, but I was stuck on space so I kept it.If you are looking for quality ---- move on. If you just need a solution to a small space it might be right for you keeping your expectations lower.

the back is black almost cardboard type material.......it's ok but for me only to have against a wall, I would not put it showing

The back of the shelf and cabinet is black cardboard-like backing. It doesn't look bad, but it isn't wood.

The back is a heavy white cardboard, you nail it on all the way around and it serves to make the cabinet more sturdy. I put my cabinets in the garage against a painted sheetrocked wall, and I put a white narrow board underneath for added support. So the back not being solid wood was not an issue for me. I was looking for something relatively inexpensive that worked well and looked good. I have been very happy with my cupboards I bought three of them and went all the way down the wall.

Very light aluminum front and cardboard backing. They clean well also. If it was me I would use double stick Velcro on the back. Just a thought. I recommend

Particle board is the backing. The shelves and frame appear to be wood but don't quote me because I didn't research the material, just needed it to display some nick nacks.

It's actually 2 pieces for the back. It's NOT solid wood. It's a little thicker then the normal folded type cardboard backings. The backings have to be a certain way, so make sure that it's lined up with the holes.

This is actually a pretty good piece for the price- no cardboard like backing. I really like this.

I don't know. It's sort of a thin Formica-like veneer over some sort of pressed wood, I'd imagine. The boards that form the sides, top, bottom and shelves are fairly thick and heavy. Very heavy. The 'beadboard' piece that forms the back is very thin, comes folded -- it looks nice but is not what I'd call 'wood.'That said I am very happy with these pieces. I ended up buying 14 of them to do a total makeover in my basement craft room and office and it's been a year now; they are perfect for my needs and very roomy and sturdy. Whatever they may be made of.

Not sure what the backing is made of, seems to be a thin fabric coated with a waterproofing coating and tiny non-slip dots. Order one and see. Easily returned!

The sides & backing are material-like... kind of like what is used in the folding travel chairs, only thinner. It folds flat & where the sides come together, it's Velcro. The partitions are a heavy cardbaord. My granddaughter loves it. She'll be 4. Hope this helps you out!!!

The back is made out of cardboard. The rest of the unit is made out of some kind of wood material that looks like real wood.

The back is made of the usual fiber-board stuff. I am VERY pleased with our bookcases (2 of them) -- they are extremely sturdy, attractive, and, after nearly a year, are showing absolutely no signs of warping, leaning, bowing, sagging, or looking "cheap" in any way. As long as they are full of books and against a wall, you can't really see the backing, anyway, though it does have an attractive wood pattern.

Not laminate or wood, more like a veneer? Good night stand. Would recommend. I have it in my guest room and purchased headboard. Looks great!
