Looking at the pictures, it looks as if the edges are missing their edge banding? I can't make out the condition of the unit, perhaps you could post some better, more detailed pictures, and make a comment on the overall condition.
The metal back can be set up so that arms can be put on it. The bottom of the desk also stores pc's with metal racks and sliding doors. It is desgined for a really nice setup.
