Is the back attractive? I'd like to use it to divide space.

No. the back is a black board type material and you can see the screws and brackets that it is put together with. But the front is beautiful and good quality wood and well made

I would not call it attractive but is not bad either. The piece of board is almost the same color as the front, but not the same material. Also the screws are visible. Hope this help. I love mine.

no not very but a piece of fabric to match your decor would be just fine. the wood is pretty, so just covering the middle would be all you would need.

You have a lot of storing space, do not worry...IT IS A PERFECT PIECE OF FURNITURE!

It's not perfect, because it goes with a lot of nails around, but it's not too bad since the back cover (which comes in two pieces that assemble) looks like a single homogeneous, white, surface. In other words, the back is obviously not the pretty side, but it's ok.

Yes. The back is fimished. This is a nice unit. I was pleasantly surprised.

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

Absolutely! It looks nice and saves counter space. I've had mine for less than 2 weeks and really glad I purchased it.

Yes. It's not completely flat. There's a border around the back with holes for hanging.

The back looks nice. There is a panel for the back of the top shelf doesn't match the rest of the wood color exactly. It's slightly lighter about 2 inches wide but it still looks nice.

Hi Josh. I would buy this for the purpose you describe. It's classy and a comfortable space for 2 ppl. Seems to me especially right for a guys place. Hope this helps!

There is plenty of space on the back. The item is heavy though so I would be careful.

Yes! I would actually recommend doing just that. It looks nicer, is sturdier, and comfier. I did the same thing.

Pretty much. But you cannot tell it once the piece is assembled. I have had several of these bookcases and the back is not a problem. Unfortunately, this is one of the ways they keep the costs down. But the bookcase is sound and holds a lot. At home, mine are loaded with books and we have not had a problem. Your problem with heavy loads would be with the shelves bending but it has to be a really, really heavy load. Like I said mine is loaded with heavy books and they do fine.

Oh yes! Don't get me wrong. It's VERY sturdy. I bought 2 other cabinets that I built and they both have backs to them. I'm about to buy a couple more. Love the quality for the price!

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.

Hello. It is very easy to assemble. However, I think to line up the sides and back one might need the advantage of standing to push parts into place. The cabinet is fairly tall.

I have the cabinet, which I really like. I believe this would be fine. It looks nice and holds lots of stuff. Took some time to get it together, but worth the effort.

I think it was a very good purchase. As far as the back being too low, I think that would depend on your body type. For me it is just fine.I think it is also a very good value money-wise.
