Is the back a piece of cardboard?

Yes. Like most Sauder pieces. Though this is one of the nicest pieces I've seen from Sauder.

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.

Yes. Alsothey don't package it well so i had to have 3 pieces replaced. It is easy to put together.

Yes. It is still cardboard (can't get wet or anything), but it is hard-covered.

No. The back is the same material as the front, only smooth - not articulated like the front.

No. The back is a "solid" panel (actually several panels that join together), and the front is open as seen in the picture.

The back is just a cardboard panel that get nailed in. The finished wood look is actually on the inside of the shelves and the back is black. I guess you could reverse this piece so the finished side is facing out, but still just cardboard, not wood.

The backside is the same as the rest of the material. It is NOT like the "cardboard" style backing you might see on other shelving units. Hope this helps

Yes there is a back. It's light weight , made out 1/8" or less Masonite type product. 2 pieces taped together . Don't expect it to be strong.

It's actually nice wood all over except the back where you have put the cords thru. It's cardboard but matches the wood perfectly . I like mine a lot. Very sturdy

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

No - it is just fabric. I only got one bottom piece with the set of two boxes. Which means I had to fashion my own cardboard bottom to give it the structure it needs...

No, lol. This is nothing like it seems. I never even gave it to my son for christmas. It is cardboard pretty much. I know it's only 12$ but it's junk. Not even worth the purchase to me. Babies who chew, would just warp the cardboard.

The back is press board, which is formed wood pulp, it's fairly sturdy but it's not wood or plywood. I think that's hard to find if not impossible in this price range

I don't know as I installed the cardboard back but I wouldn't recommend it.

No, the back is not finished, it's a thin but sturdy piece of maybe pressed wood, or something as such

back is a thick piece of little better than cardboard. I have used this and moved it to our new house. It is steady but we use it as a display for pictures etc not books. Hope this helps
