It doesn't seem like the one mounting spot (middle of the handle at the top) is enough to hold the weight of the paper. Would I be able to put a screw at each of the top corners through the material into the wall, or it is hard plastic? Thanks.

Actually, the top mount is more than enough to hold a heavier weight. The failure point is actually how the folders hang as they start to bend and can eventually fall off if you add a large amount of items into them. I am not sure if this is due to weight or the bulging of the folders that causes the problem, though I suspect the bulging is the real issue. This has only happened to me once in practice and was more to the fact that I had avoided my inbox for months...

it's very sturdy, but read the weight of these prior to mounting on walls. I don't have these mounted on my wall, I use these to hold toys for my kids with baskets that I bought from target.

I didn't mount it on the wall so I am not sure how secure it will stay. The material itself is very good acrylic. There are wall mount hooks that come with the compartment, but they are not so great. You might need to use different hooks/nails.

I don't use this for magazines but have lots of paper in them and they stay against the wall. I have my papers horizontal so maybe if you have it all vertical it may be different

There's a loop to hang the whole thing on a hook, but the hook is not included. I'd get something sturdy, if you're going to have lots of papers in it. I use one of those over the door hooks and hang this on the back of my door.

Holder has 2 screws at the back of holder that attach to wall, and lid lifts up to be able to install paper roll. IF recessed wall allows for that with the dimensions of the product in mind, than go for it. LOVE this holder, keeps our pets from destroying roll. Worth the money in aggravation saved.

You install the plastic holder by screwing it into the wall with either wood screws into wall studs, the best and probably strongest method of fastening or by using wall anchors to fasten to drywall, which is not the best way since the stress over time tends to loosen the drywall fasteners. If you have no choice but to use the drywall anchor method try using an adhesive as well to hold the plastic against the drywall. I would recommend the adhesive be a polyurethane type construction adhesive, which typically comes in a tube suitable for a caulking gun.

If installing in drywall don't use anchors that come with unit buy heavy duty ones at home depot. Also the unit has two predrilled holes I suggest putting another on in. Only costs a couple $$$ and you won't have to worry about the weight on the wall. As far as how much can it hold when desk is out... you can't sit on it ;). But it holds the weight of a laptop books and your arms fine.

It is hollow under the top area like the other poster noted, but I didn't think a standard-sized roll fit very well vertically... not enough space to be practical for that purpose, in my opinion. You could mount a holder horizontally, that might work better. The island is very nice though, especially for the price, and I have really enjoyed mine!

Kyle, if you are going to hang it the long way across the wall, like the picture, behind the 1st and 4th rungs, are tabs that you slip onto the nails you would already have hammered in the wall. If you plan on hanging it so that it's the long way up and down - vertical and not horizontal, then I would suggest putting in some type of screw that has a "lip" or someway to hold the mug rack in place so it won't slip off where the peg is. Hope this helps. John

This holder comes with the screws needed to mount it. Adhesive tape holding that much weight just could not hold up long. The provided screws are the "molly" type that are designed for hollow wall board/sheet rocked applications. Those have a plastic sheath/anchor that goes into the wall board first and then the screw goes into the anchor. Molly screws hold more weight and the anchor helps keep them from pulling out of the wall. The Mollies will work to keep this holder on the wall far better than adhesives or plain screws can. If you are careful and don't tug on it, it will probably stay put for years. But, I like things to stay put and not have to worry about them. It is always better to mount things that get a lot of use and/or hold weight into two studs, one at both ends. When that isn't possible, situating it so that at least one screw goes into a stud is the next best thing. It only works if it stays on the wall.

I used small velcro Command Strips instead of the hanger on the top (it's retractable, so I just pushed it down so it doesn't show). I put 1 command strip across the top, the bottom, and spaced 2 along each side and velcro'd it to the wall since many people will be taking forms in and out of the various folders. It makes it a little more stable, and the strips worked great!

I believe mine came with the two brackets I use to hang over the cubical wall, which is what I am doing. And they adjust to various thickness walls. On the top edge of the unit itself there are two keyhole shaped holes for mounting on nails-screws-hooks, etc. On the side of a file cabinet you could use sheet metal screws if the didn't go in too far or interfere with the track. It is possible you could use stick on hangers of you weren't putting much in it. but mine has 3-4 lbs. of papers in it most of the time.

There are little metal brackets on that side, so i suppose to could fashion a way to attach it to the wall. wouldn't recommend it - get some cheap floating shelves from IKEA and add covering will accomplish the same thing and be alot more sturdy.

no - the grip a strip mounts to the wall with screws - the rail holds paper inside the slot in the rail using a roller assembly - works like a charm without tape pins or magnets

There are no holes for nails or other ways to secure to the wall; however, the back is open so the frame could theoretically sit on picture hooks or some such. I'm not sure the plastic would hold up to the weight of the CD's if you tried that. Don't think I would risk it.

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outside of a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.
