Does the back of the desk reflect the same style as the sides and front? Or is it just flat, meant to be against a wall?

The back of the desk is plain. Same is the case with the side. The drawers; two of them are in the front

It's as lovely as the front, it also has a leather top with a world map, I use it in my office and it has held up beautifully, it's strong and sturdy....wish I had bought two! Felt inside drawers. Dr G

Yes, the back of the desk does reflect the same style as the sides. There are no drawers or handles on the back side. In my opinion does not have to be against the wall.

I believe it does. The desk has gone to a family member, so it's no longer where I can just peek around back and look ... but I believe it does have a finished back side. It's a lovely piece. It belonged to my fiancé who didn't need the same drawer space I require (!) for me there would have needed to be bigger drawers, but he didn't, and he was very thoroughly pleased with this desk.

The backside is the same as with IKEA except black. The answer saying otherwise is either outdated or wrong/a lie. I bought it based on it NOT being IKEA-like and just opened it to see the flimsy back piece. Oh well, hopefully it holds up like the other reviewer notes.

It is flat. I would say semi-flat. I had a computer desk and the top shelf trim and the desktop trim was messed up. I took the trim off and cut the contact paper to cover the trim pieces. Just a little color difference, but looks nice. I was pleased with the end result,

I don't see any difference especially since it is the same picture, description, dimensions, etc. Perhaps it was renamed. I hope this helps because this desk is beautiful! The picture doesn't show the craftsmanship on the desk draw side.

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 answers listed here differ, but be clear that this desk is not entirely solid wood. The top and nearly every piece that you see from the front are solid wood as are the feet and all drawer pieces but for the drawer bottoms. The sides and the large pieces on the left and right of your legs when you sit at the desk are engineered wood. This is a solid desk, but it is not all solid wood.

The whole back sits against the wall! Unless you have angled paneling, but even then it works with the right positioning. Hope that helps!

the back of the desk has matching in color and grain thin particle board fastened with small nails.........I have the desk standing in the middle of the room and I have no problem with the way it looks

That should work just fine! It's solid black on the back. I LOVE my desk!! Just be very careful when putting it together. My husband slipped with the drill and it took a good chunk out of the wood board. I just used a black and brown sharpie to color in where the wood board chipped away.ALSO......it took HOURS to put this desk together! It comes in 3 boxes and took roughly 7 hours! It was worth the wait. It's a beautiful desk! Hope this helps :)

Not really, but you can get creative like I did and cover the back with pictures or posters. All in all I love this desk. Great for large monitors 28" 30". I put lights in mine. Great Buy!

The back is angled. You could use it against a flat wall, the far back is flat, it doesn't come to a point. It just works in a corner because the left and right rear corners are cut off. Make sure you have an electric screwdriver if you plan to assemble this piece yourself...there are a million screws.

Thee desk it's self is pretty heavy, you have to make sure it is screwed into the studs, has a metal bare that runs across to hang on the wall then you slide the back into that. It's very sturdy and lays flat against the wall. I bought white for my granddaughter and she loves it. I wouldn't sit on it, she has her monitor and printer on main shelf and all kinds of other stuff on the small shelves.

No! It's just a cheap particle board, dark brown like the rest of the desk, but doesn't look very pleasing at all... Plus has holes for the cables... meant to be up against the wall.

Yes, it's finished on all sides. When building it, it looks exactly like the picture. Great desk overall.

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