Is the back finished? I'd like to use as a room divider.

It is the same color as the rest of the unit. Although maybe just a smidgen less attractive. For the most part, sall' good :D. Its an awesome shelf.

Looks great against a wall. As a room divider with the back visible - I wouldn't recommend it.

The back is a very cheap cardboard piece. It's the same color as the unit but it does look cheap. I wouldn't want to use it as a room divider myself. Mine are against the wall and look fine that way but I wouldn't want the back left exposed.

There are panels that attached and they are OK, but I would hesitate to have it as a room devider.The front is nice; however, I would add another panel - say from Home Depot.

Yes the back is finished, but unless you have a petite frame and small behind you are going to find it very uncomfortable. It's the perfect size for my granddaughter. Keep the measurements first.

Hi Tracey - yes it is finished and can be placed anywhere. In-fact I use it as a side-desk so the back is completely exposed. It's a really really solid and good-looking desk, I'd highly recommend it.

I had to go check because the back of mine is against a wall....no, the back of the drawers are not finished (like the rest of the desk).

It is finished. We use this in a "glorified hotel room" it is perfect for making a small space functional.

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!

It appears to be unfinished, however, has a protective coat of some kind on it. I did go ahead and stain and varathane it and I love it! The top drawer face does not quite mesh very tightly with the upright sides, but, again, it is beautiful; fits perfectly in my limited space kitchen and provides the storage I needed. A definate "win" for me............solid wood, also......no fiberboard !!

We recently purchased this desk and the back is finished. It's a great looking desk!

In my case, the back side is partially unfinished. The back boards below the desk top (the area that the drawer in front occupies) is smooth particle board with no wood veneer. It's odd though, because the side of the boards facing the underside of the desk do have wood grain to them. So your knees, when seated at the desk see wood grain, but someone standing behind the desk wood see particle board. Maybe you could flip those boards around when you assemble (or perhaps i put them in backwards by accident). Otherwise it's a decent looking desk. I've used mine for years.

Yes, it is finished. Would look very nice as a free-standing piece. Hope that helps!

Yes finished on both side. It has supports on the back side but i don't think they look bad

I agree with both C. Wright and Jodi. Even though the back is not wood, it looks nice. It has the same color as the rest of the unit and it is smooth. The unit is quite sturdy, so yes, you can use it to split the room as you want.

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

Yes, the desk is finished on the back. The matching hutch (sold separately) is not and that side should be against the wall if you get the hutch. Otherwise, the desk looks great from the back.

The back of the unit is finished but in a solid black. And keep in mind that there is a "fold line" going down the center of the whole back visible from the back and the front. other than being able to see the line going down the middle it's a nice unit for the price.

It is finished. I think you would see the horizontal hole used for cords if it was in the middle of the room. So it would come down to your own preference. But def finished.
