Not real wood, more like a thicker particle board, but I like it nonetheless.

The back is a heavy white cardboard, you nail it on all the way around and it serves to make the cabinet more sturdy. I put my cabinets in the garage against a painted sheetrocked wall, and I put a white narrow board underneath for added support. So the back not being solid wood was not an issue for me. I was looking for something relatively inexpensive that worked well and looked good. I have been very happy with my cupboards I bought three of them and went all the way down the wall.

It's cardboard nailed on. They match the color of the cardboard to the desk but it might still show

It is plywood. It is a heavy construction. I have had the desk for over a year and have no complaints.

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.

Wood. It's all wood. It's fairly lightweight but looks nice and working well as a desk for my son

The back of the hutch is a black cardboard. You would also be able to see all the nails on the edges which hold it on. It wouldn't be very attractive in plain sight. I recommend putting it up against a wall. Otherwise, it is a nice desk. Very study but it was hard to put together and the instructions were ridiculous.

The back is particle board made of wood. Like masonite but flimsier. Don't stand on it!

It appears to be a material similar to cardboard and would not support any substantial weight with materials attached to a cork board. However, it is a great computer desk. I have two of them.

Inside the box is wood--and the back is also wood-It is a really nice box--my wife loves it.

The back is press board, which is formed wood pulp, it's fairly sturdy but it's not wood or plywood. I think that's hard to find if not impossible in this price range

I don't consider it cardboard. I think it's "pressed board". It's a solid piece, just not as thick as the sides. It' s very well made. I'd buy it again.

This desk is hardwood, not veneer. It is a bit heavy. . . This was a deciding factor for me. . .

Yes-the back is also made of wood. I believe it may be some type of particle board, very sturdy, and painted to match the entire unit.

It is pressed wood, not cardboard. This is a great looking unit when assembled!

It appears to be solid wood but it is covered in scratches. It scratches easily. I love the look and efficiency of the desk and am very pleased with my purchase. It came damaged with a chunk of wood missing on the side so they gave me a little money off. Not hard to put together.

The back is thick particleboard. This thing is very solid, sturdy, heavy, and beautiful! I expect it to be passed down in my family for several generations.
