Is the back finished?

No, it isn't. I also don't use the pull out for the keyboard, it makes me too far away from the computer and I can't read the screen.

It's black but the finish is rough and not like the front. I don't think it's made to be viewed from the back.

The back is finished except for the piece where the computer tower goes. That part comes with a cardboard backing that has to be nailed in, with the little pop out holes for wires. I didn't use that backing as it's flimsy and the nails literally were breaking as we tacked them in. However, I put the desk against the wall. So if you're able to line up the carboard correctly (the fit of it wasn't great either), and don't mind the cardboard tower area back--it's colored to match the desk--you should be okay to have the back showing.

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.

The back is finished. For the money, it's a very nice piece, also easy to assemble.

Not finished from back. Its wooden in color with texture like cardboard. However its smoothed out so doesn't look rough.

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.

Yes. It is finished on all sides-including the back in black. It is a lovely table that sits next to husbands recliner.

The back is thick cardboard. The front side (the side that you will see if you open drawers and in the exposed spaces) is "finished" - it matches the color of the unit. The back side of the cardboard is not.

It is finished on the back. There is a hole on the back for the power cord though.

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 back is finished just as the sides and front - it may be pressed board but it is finished and the overall piece is one color - black for us. However, it is a complete do it yourself assembly - and some pieces were damaged.

Yes, the front is finished. This is a great desk, very sturdy and well worth the price.

Yes, the back of the desk is as finished as its front and, on my opinion, is suitable for display. The desk is uniformly finished.

I have it against a wall but I almost put it in another place so I know it is a finished back. Hope this helps
