I would need to float the desk in the middle of the floor rather than against a wall. Is the back of the desk finished and suitable for display? Thanks!

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.

Yes it is as well finished on the back as it is on the rest of the desk. Looks great.

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.

It is meant to be hung which is what I have done, but I guess it could sit on a desk if you wanted to do so. We have been very pleased with the hutch and the floating desk. Hope this helps.

Hi Jeremy, The back is finished so that you do not have to have this against a wall. It would be in the finish that you selected for the entire unit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you any further concerns. Sandy, Owner Best Kitchen Products

Hi there ... no, I agree with what the others have said; it's meant to be assembled only this one way. I would also mention that the drawers are not very easy to reach (especially the bottom one), so just put things in there that you don't have to access very often. :) All in all, though, I like the desk, and think it's a good value for the money.

Yes, the back of the desk does reflect the same style as the sides. There are no drawers or handles on the back side. In my opinion does not have to be against the wall.

The back is finished. The desk is completely presentable from any side. We did not experience any problem with alignment.

The desk will be fairly stable. Those parts aren't required for structural support, though the bottom shelf is nice for assembly purposes (alignment reasons). I also don't recommend moving it after assembly if you can avoid it. It's not the sturdiest desk, but it's good for everyday use. Hope this helps

No! It's just a cheap particle board, dark brown like the rest of the desk, but doesn't look very pleasing at all... Plus has holes for the cables... meant to be up against the wall.

yes, desk can be placed both ways without looking unfinished. assembly takes about an hour.

Yes, the back of the desk and the hutch each has the same black finish as what is shown in the picture. I had no trouble with assembly and although the desktop is heavy, I managed to get it upright by myself. I recommend that assembly take place on the flattened cardboard box to avoid scatching either the furniture or your floor.

I considered this, but the structural integrity of the desk would be compromised beyond use. The bottom tray serves to keep the feet aligned with the top and make sure any weight placed on the top is properly distributed through the frame to the feet. I am sure that one could cut a notch out of the bottom tray, if not too deep, and still have the bottom serve its purpose. I hope this helps!

There is very little "back" to the desk, given that it is mostly open. But, yes, all sides are finished so you can position it anyway in your room.

yea you can work without the shelf if you want to if the holes for the shelf pins don't bother you then you're good, you can always makeshift something to cover them up. I was gonna do the same but I needed space management eh, the keyboard part you can leave out as well if you don't need it, and on the sturdy side this desk looks like is gonna be solid for years to come, again make sure you got the space cause this thing is big. The back of the board edges are not laminated but you can always laminate them, but overall its a great looking desk.

The cabinet is not versatile to be put on the other side, unless you don't care that the back of the cabinet sticks out past the desktop a few inches(which wont look too good). The desk was made so that the cabinet side desktop is deeper than the opposite side. Hope this helps.

Others have mostly covered it. I would add also that the weight would become problematic for the base. It does come with the hardware to mount it to the desk though, so you could do that. You may be able to get a 27in monitor on there though if you got a thin bezel version. It would be pushing it though.
