is the back finished so that a bed can sit in the middle of the room?

The upper portion is all white however the legs of the headboard are unfinished

No. It has a cardboard backing for the shelves/headboard, and unpainted sections. That being said, you could cut a piece of plywood to fit the back and paint it.

The back is a smooth finish wood (composite) panel. Yes - you could face it towards a room to make a section.

The paneling on the back has a finished look, so you can keep the desk out in the middle of the room and not backed up against a wall.

Yes, it is completely finished except of course on the inside of the drawers and the bottom.

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

Sorry for the delay in answering. We were out of town & couldn't remember. No, the desk is not finished enough to put the back facing the room. It is more of a dark plywood look instead of wood like the front.

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.

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.

It is finished on back side. Not a great job but it doesn't look bad at all.

The back is somewhat finished, but the wall behind the cupboard for the stack is pressboard with a veneer finish. It has cut outs for the wires, and as we have ours in a corner, it doesn't show. We went with the largest cutout, which leaves the space wide open for air circulation. I wouldn't want it visible, as it is not a nice view with the back of the stack and all of the wires showing. The rest of the desk is tidy but not as finished as the outward facing area, where the chair goes.

It is finished so you can show the back. I suggest you put a glass or plexi top on it because the wood is soft. That is my one and only complaint about the desk.

No, the backside is not finished. Also, the center part of the hutch is stained cardboard, which makes it warp a little with humidity. Huh, now that I see the other answers, it looks like you're not getting a clear picture of what the back looks like. Without pulling it away from the way (it's heavy), I can't tell you absolutely what it looks like. My husband just said definitely it's not finished. Hmm. Good luck with this.

Yes, it's all finished. The piece that's used behind the file drawer has a circle cut in it for power cords but there's no raw wood or particle board showing. The side without the drawer would look fine if it was facing into the room rather than up against a wall.

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.

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

There is a back on the section where the components go, but the two sides don't have a back on them. Since it goes in a corner, a back isn't needed on the sides. It's really a nice piece of furniture, and I highly recommend it!

I think it's finished! It's pretty neutral though. I used it for my daughters room which was also oak at the time!
