is the back panel cardboard as mentioned in one of the reviews or is it made from the same material as the front and sides?

Indeed the back is cardboard. Less than one inch thick, but placing it against a wall should do the trick. That didn't matter as much to me because I knew that the wall I set it against would be additional support & would hide the back. All in all I was satisfied with the purchase, The cardboard back looks more expensive from the inside view, painted nicely, & if placed properly no would really notice that it was cardboard unless they were looking for it.

It's more of a "Masonite" type board. The sides & front are partitcal board covered in a white melomen material. The back has some strength but it's main purpose is to keep the cabinet square.

I am sorry I was unable to see the back of this cabinet as I gave it to my tenant. But since I recalled, the back panel is made of card board.

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.

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

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!!!!

we didn't bought this. Yes it was the same model, but ours was black;Made of MDF with PVC laminate in Graphite and that was in the back too.. So I think the back of this one is also the same material as the front like with us, but I don't know for sure.

The backside is not cardboard....it is the same manufactured wood as the rest of the cart.

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

It's not as flimsy as cardboard, but it's not wood. It's some sort of particle board but seems pretty sturdy.

This is a very, very nice piece of furniture for the price!! On the back of each door area, it is wood back panel similar to the front; however, behind the open area is a cardboard backing. We were very grateful for the cardboard backing in that area because my husband hand to cut new holes for the amount of wiring we had.

Appears to be cardboard. The whole thing is pressed wood, I think. Still, good for the price

The back is totally thin cardboard. The rest of it is pretty solid. I'm guessing not solid wood but it's a SOLID bookcase (could not move it by myself)

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.

The back is made of heavy coated cardboard. Its the same as most RTA furniture I have seen but a little better quality than your average.

Yes, it is a cardboard. It looks pretty good, but it is indeed not wood. There are also around six flat round headed screws in the back through the backing and into the interior shelves. I took a picture of it but for some reason I don't see an option on this item to post customer pictures of the product.

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.

Yes, same heavy cardboard material as other similar cabinets. However, there is a piece of wood in the back (top part) to use for securing it to the wall.

Disappointingly it is Cardboard. I think they sell the plastic ones separately now

All sides are made of the same material, the plastic. The corner connectors are more wood but have a plastic resiliency to them.
