Is the back of the bookcase wood or cardboard?

It is cardboard. The bookcase is your mediocre Walmart quality variety. I expected something a little better than that. But it was just the right size and holds everything we needed to put there. I also wanted glass doors to prevent dust accumulation.

Hi Kathleen...The back is cardboard. The bookcase looks good but you really have to know how to put it together. My husband and I never got the doors even. The bottom shelf is not aligned just right. We took a discounted price. We did not want the bother to return it. We wrote to Amazon and Ameriwood told them the assembly problems. If it came assembled it would be nice. The purpose we need the bookcase for is working for us.

Not cardboard. It is a thin piece of compressed board similar to the test of the cabinet but much thinner...maybe 1/8 of an inch.

I'm not an expert, but I just took a look at the back panel and I'm pretty sure it's pressed wood, rather than cardboard. I like the stand very much. Good luck with yours.

Yes it is. It is a very nice bookcase. We did have to get a new side as it came damaged, but the company was very good about sending it promptly at no cost to us.

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

The entire peice, including the shelves are solid wood. There is a piece that slides in the back to accommadate cords, etc that is a cheaper piece of wood. But that's it.

I believe it's wood - but it's skinny skinny. It's one piece and not folded with a crease like some cardboard backs are. It's the same color as the rest of the unit - black in my case.

It's a thin piece of wood-like material, not cardboard but not wood, either. I'm not sure. But it looks good and it was easy to assemble. I have this piece in my office, and I like its appearance very much. And, it's very sturdy.

The backing is a heavy pressed cardboard, but I am happy with the cabinets I bought. In fact, they turned out to be nicer than I thought they would be. I moved from a house to an apartment and needed storage for some of my holiday decorations and some other household items. The cabinets have blended in nicely on the back of my living room area and I have put pictures and plants on top and they are a nice addition to the room. I am happy and satisfied with the 2 cabinets that I bought and would by more if I need them.

It is heavy cardboard but it is very durable and presents nice.... Great bookcases for the money...

Not sturdy enough to be a room divider. The back is cardboard covered with a veneer to match the bookcase.

Hello #Inky yes it is cardboard and need to be assembled. I was quiet disappointed but after many family & friends visited my house they liked it a lot , no do not suggest you to show the back!!!!

The shelves & sides are wood, the back is a wood composite. It is 10 1/2" between the shelves. Directions say it takes 2 people to put together but I did it by myself. For me it was perfect for what I wanted.
