Which definition of rough to choose? Could you tell me the correct definition that concords with the context of the definition of shack?
Shack - a roughly built hut or cabin
In this context, I would say it incorporates elements of all but one of those definitions:
As the context appears to be a definition of the word "shack" it seems safe to assume it does not mean unfinished in the sense of being "incomplete". "Finished" can also mean decorated or furnished when applied to a building.
A "shack" is usually something deliberately built in a simple way - lacking refinement, which could incorporate a lack of decor or finishing of surfaces.
