What does the back of this look like? Is it finished? Can I use this in the center of a kitchen as an island?

Hello, thank you for your question, but no, the back is not given a finished look. But you could use two that way, back to back.

Yes, the table is fully finished on the back and looks fine from all sides. It functions great as a chairside table -- just as in the picture.

Yes the back is finished just like the front. I don't have a picture of it nor can I take one as I am in California and my daughter and grand kids are in Wisconsin;( But she did measure it for me and the floor to counter height is 21 inches. My daughter has recently moved and it did very well. Sophia is 4 and still plays with the kitchen along with her 15 mo. old sister. The design is very nice and I think the quality is good. Looks like it did when they first got it. Hope this helps! I've been very satisfied and did a lot of research before buying this one.

It is finished on the back side except where the draws are at the ends is it is cardboard but it does look like the finished wood I think it would look fine out in the open as long as you don't have children/pets that will fall into it or bump into it and push in the cardboard in cause once the cardboard is popped out it doesn't go back together right

The back is finished, but it has 2 boards that have to be nailed onto the back (small nails). If you used a black marker to hide the heads it would look OK I believe. Mine is sitting in the middle of the living room (bought it for my daughter but her house isn't ready yet) & I never noticed it until I actually LOOKED at it.

Yes the corners are finished just as the rest of the unit. I use it on a flat wall currently and have no problem with the looks. I bought it with the plan in mind that it could be used either way and am very happy with it.

Yes it finished on the back and all sides. You can have it in the center of a room. You can also change the side piece to the left or right whenever you decide to change the desk around. I love it and get lots of compliments

It is stained the same color as the rest of the unit but is pressed material not wood. It doesn't look totally finished from the back but wouldn't look bad I would say. If you have someone handy, you could likely easily modify it to make it perfectly finished. We love love love our unit!

I really like this rack a lot. I have a small kitchen and it sits beside my stove. I think it might be a bit small to use like an island but it certainly increased by counter space and increased b my storage. Hope this's helps.

It is not finished on back. .but if you wanted to use as a room divider I can't see why you couldn't paint ..The bigger concern would be how you would be able to secure the unit to floor. .it could hurt someone if it tipped over.even on level non carpeted floor it is tall and solid not something I would trust to be free standing

I used it on a kitchen island and it looks great! I was thinking of doing my small 3/4 bath using it as a wainscoting for the bottom third of the wall and then trimming it off with a piece of molding. It is realistic looking but if your wall has an orange peel texture, some of that does show through. You could always sand down the wall if you don't want the texture to show but by the time you go to all that trouble, you could've just used real bead board.

Yes, I have mine as a backsplash and its beautiful. It looks like real brick and really updated the kitchen.

The back of the deck is finished in the same manner as the rest of the desk. The hutch that sits on the back has aback that is finished but it doesn't appear to be wood. I think it would look fine if the back was exposed to the room. We had no difficulty with the shipment or (minor) assembly of this desk and it looks nice in the nook it is in. It does not get daily use, just a nice repository for the laptop and miscellaneous paperwork.

The whole top section is one piece. It is shipped so that all you have to do with that part is insert the drawer and add the hardware. But, I have contemplated putting a granite slab on the top of mine. The whole island is very heavy and if assembled properly it should hold the weight okay. The only issue would be securing the granite on top so that it became a part of the piece. A countertop installer would have that answer.

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 is a single panel (made of who knows what?) finished in exactly the same finish as the rest of the piece, so having the back in view should not be a problem.

It is not, but I made mine into a corner unit by cutting the back two corners shorter and placing a top piece of wood on it. Email if you want pics.
