Question: What is the width at the rear of the stand?
Document: A minor inconvenience but it would be better to have the entire rear of the stand wide open for full access to wire connections. I know I can't complain, just look at the picture, right? But the components I purchased (Emotiva amplifier and processor) are deeper than most and the back brace is much wider than I expected.
The shelves are wider and deeper than most I found online which was good for the components I had purchased. Overall, it is sturdy and well built and I can honestly recommend this for anyone seeking an A/V stand or just an attractive stand for nick-nacs.Here's the &#34;but&#34; part. The one thing I didn't like is that the design of the stand makes it so that the rear brace runs down the middle of the back.
This Stand is very attractive,  well constructed, and fits into small spaces. I would recommend it without any reservation. Love it
I love this stand. The only flaw it has is that it's a little did life cult to hide the cords if u have a bunch of components but other than that....it's great!! !
The stand looks great, it was easy to put together - great value. With prime the unit was shipped and delivered quickly. No regrets.
The stand works great for my corner area and brought the height needed for TV viewing. Good solid product. Easy to assemble.
We bought this stand for audio equipment and we love it. Good quality and was easy to put together. Looks great in our room and would recommend to others.
... it lacked a couple of holes for the provided screws so I could not put in all the given screws which is important for it to be stable. Result - not a 100% stable stand.
You cannot go wrong with this component stand. Assembly was easy, took about 15 minutes. The quality of the wood and the tempered glass are better than expected. This is a heavy piece, so expect that.
The stand arrived in great shape protected well by the packaging. The color matched my expectations extremely well. It was easily assembled by following the instructions and sketches. Good value.
Answer: The back of the shelf is about 16" wide.  It's sort of hard to answer your question because the thing is sort of triangular (if you look down at it from above), and the edges are curved in toward the flat part in back.  But the flat edge that fits against the wall is about 16".  The screened part that's part of the back (that has holes for cords) is 9" wide, centered in the 16'' flat part of the shelf-back.
