Finally, I looked at the unfinished back of the cabinet.

Initially, I was going to install another pine board on the back to cover the particleboard, but I saw it as a fun opportunity to make this table even more suited to playing board games. I painted the back of the cabinet with chalkboard paint, so that the chalkboard could be used for keeping score in games like Scrabble.

Pictured below is the back of the cabinet, before and after being painted.
