Is the desk finished/painted on the back side? I am playing on having only part of the desk against a wall.

The cabinet is completely finished on all sides, just remember that YOU have to put it together. It's not that hard if you follow the directions, just having to do... hope that helps.

Chris. It has a back panel that you attach to the back that is the same color as the top of the desk. Just remember when you attach it to attach with colored side out. I made the mistake of attaching backwards and you cannot remove. Also, alittle FYI where the hard drive sits in the desk I had to remove the back panel. It was getting too hot and I did not like leaving the front of the cabinet open. I love the desk and all the pieces I got to match it.

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!

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

Hi, Yes, it is black wood all the way around, so it should be fine if that side of it shows. It's a very sharp looking desk all around. :-) Hope this helps.

It has a sturdy backboard that matches the finish of the desk, but I put mine against a wall anyway because you can tell the backboard is not hardwood. Once assembled, it is a very nice piece of furniture.

No, it's not finished. But it can be easily finished with laminate material, as I did so that I didn't have to put it in a corner.

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... as it's not real wood, it has a wood stain photo finish (Examples here https://www.google.com/search?q=wood+photo+finish&rlz=1T4GGNI_enUS570US570&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=YJdRU9_6Kbi_sQTGgIKQBA&ved=0CCcQsAQ&biw=1536&bih=702)... looks just like the side you see in the photo. By the way, it's a great desk for the price... I think you'll be pleased with 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.

The back is finished. Actually the whole piece is finished all around. It's a beautiful piece of furniture if you are looking for something in a small space.

Yes, the back of the desk is as finished as its front and, on my opinion, is suitable for display. The desk is uniformly finished.

Its a corner desk. From the back it looks like it belongs in a corner and comes to a point smack in the middle.....for a corner wall.

Hi Carol, yes the back is finished? I love this piece it is in my bedroom & is just the right size to help me keep organized.

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 is finished. The only side that does not have a smooth finish is the side with the drawer. The color matches the desk so it will still look nice if your putting the desk somewhere where it would be seen by others (not against the wall). Hope this helps!

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!
