The description of this item states that it has a "finished back."  It does not.  The most I can say is that the back is black, but is not the same quality of wood as the rest of the piece, with large visible screws around the edges.  Worst of all were several large and obnoxious stickers adhered to the back, and the package of hardware (which could easily have been place in a drawer) stapled to it.  The stickers are very difficult to remove.  I am disappointed in this piece, based on the description given by Wayfair.
