The description uses the word "corner". No pictures of the back. Is it flat or pointed in the rear? Can it be put up against a flat wall? Thanks!

It's a trapezoid. https://www.google.com/search?q=trapezoid&espv;=2&biw;=1152&bih;=628&tbm;=isch&imgil;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%253B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.youtube.com%25252Fwatch%25253Fv%2525253DJxkpNYPLSD4&source=iu&pf;=m&fir;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%252C7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%252C_&usg;=__g1I6MZPCnEAhg3HARSx66WOjtwI%3D&ved;=0CD0Qyjc&ei;=EZp3VKEG1rGiBOa-gbgM#facrc=_&imgdii;=_&imgrc;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%3B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ytimg.com%252Fvi%252FJxkpNYPLSD4%252Fmaxresdefault.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.youtube.com%252Fwatch%253Fv%253DJxkpNYPLSD4%3B3000%3B3000 It's a trapezoid. https://www.google.com/search?q=trapezoid&espv;=2&biw;=1152&bih;=628&tbm;=isch&imgil;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%253B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.youtube.com%25252Fwatch%25253Fv%2525253DJxkpNYPLSD4&source=iu&pf;=m&fir;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%252C7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%252C_&usg;=__g1I6MZPCnEAhg3HARSx66WOjtwI%3D&ved;=0CD0Qyjc&ei;=EZp3VKEG1rGiBOa-gbgM#facrc=_&imgdii;=_&imgrc;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%3B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ytimg.com%252Fvi%252FJxkpNYPLSD4%252Fmaxresdefault.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.youtube.com%2... » Read More It's a trapezoid. https://www.google.com/search?q=trapezoid&espv;=2&biw;=1152&bih;=628&tbm;=isch&imgil;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%253B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.youtube.com%25252Fwatch%25253Fv%2525253DJxkpNYPLSD4&source=iu&pf;=m&fir;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%252C7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%252C_&usg;=__g1I6MZPCnEAhg3HARSx66WOjtwI%3D&ved;=0CD0Qyjc&ei;=EZp3VKEG1rGiBOa-gbgM#facrc=_&imgdii;=_&imgrc;=HGp-jIvhG8bzwM%253A%3B7ZjZvJ45-DVTKM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ytimg.com%252Fvi%252FJxkpNYPLSD4%252Fmaxresdefault.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.youtube.com%252Fwatch%253Fv%253DJxkpNYPLSD4%3B3000%3B3000 « Show Less

No, this unit is not intended to be used as a corner shelf. It is clearly designed to be mounted onto a flat wall.

The top front has curved edges. Overall it is not sharp and is pretty stable. It is solid and heavy. You may want to attach it to the wall with a wall anchor just to be extra sure. That is what I did with all of my children's furniture.

I use mine in a corner at a 45 degree angle to the wall just fine without it looking funny. The sides are curved but overall are more or less about 45 degrees from corner to corner so it works well in a corner

Looks like there is a screw slot on the back but i don't think it would mount flat against the wall. Hope this helps.

Hi, the back of this unit is not finished so it is better to use it against a wall. Thank you!

The back is white. Mine is on the wall, so I pulled up one corner and could see the lines on the back, but that was with the light behind it and not a wall. It would probably be barely visible if it was put up on a wall.

The back is straight and parallel to the front. However, the length of the back line is longer than the length of the front line by 12 inches (36" versus 48"). It could be used on a straight wall, but I think it is better in a corner.

Sorry for the delay! It has a bit of a curve to the back so it's not flush against the wall. But beautiful! Would recommend it!

Like the others said, the back looks nice enough that it doesn't need to be placed against the wall. Black particle board with center vertical support. ..

Yes this unit has a flush back with 45 degree rear edges, (no sharp corners or 90 degree restriction) looks just as good against a wall as it does inside of a corner.

It's flat across the back. We don't have it in a corner. We are very pleased with the look of the cabinet(s). We bought a matching pair.

Wish I could post a pic...but no, this is not a true "corner cabinet". I have the right-side end of it butted into a corner and it fits nicely though.

not looking so good from the back. You would need to get something to make it look a bit nicer. The top rung is bare particle board, and the bottom is just some light cardboard painted the same color. Looks good from all other sides though.

This stand may be used either as a corner unit or a regular stand against a wall. If used against a flat wall then the unit measures 16" front to back. The back is flat, not "cornered". Only the sides are angled.

I wouldn't put it againt the wall because it's made for a corner, it wouldn't be flat against the wall

Technically, you don't have to put it in a corner. It definitely makes the most of your space by putting it there, but I suppose it wouldn't look too bad on a flat wall.
