I was wondering if anyone knew that if the storage unit was completely full 9 can you get away with using just 3 wood screws to anchor it to the wall?

as long as you have it on the studs it will hold with three. mine is fully loaded and hold perfect has since i got it

If you did you would have to secure it to the wall somehow maybe by nailing it. I would advise against it though.

Hello Patricia! Thank you for your interest in Whitmor 6070-3437 Supreme 3-Tier Shelving, Black. We do not sell wall hangers for these shelves. Are you wanting to bolt/hang the shelves onto the wall? I am sure this is doable with the right tools. You may want to consult an expert from your local hardware store for this project. If you have additional questions regarding this item feel free to contact our Customer Service Department, Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm (CST) at (888) 944-8667 or email us at help@whitmor.com. Have a great day!

I think Amazon should go back to the manufacturer and ask. How much weight would depend on how it was attached to the wall. I don't think any screw would hold. The furniture is made out of compressed PAPER. It is not wood. It is not fiberboard. It is paper.

The screws are not included and since you will be taping into studs i would use a screw that is at least 1 1/2" long wood screw to mount to the wall. You can also buy small set screws to keep the shelf from shifting.

I did not use the anchors but according to the instructions an 8mm bit is needed. If wood stud wall mounting the anchors are not needed and a 3mm bit is used to pre-drill.

Yes, bolt it to the studs and it should be great...........anchors in the wallboard itself will NOT work!

? On the actual shelf? Or the wall beneath it? I'd be more confident in the wall installation. You screw in a bracket with 2 screws and then slide the nice piece onto it and secure with a little screw. If you don't plan to overload the rod, then you could probably get away with it.

......unless you are able to secure this into a stud using the correct length of wood screws ... then use anchor bolts/molly bolts, etc. All attachments cannot be mounted (provision is for only a select two attachments).

Not completely. The top 2 slats come out to access the mounting screws but you would have to remove the unit from the wall to get full access

You should be able to us this rack on wood- I don't see why not. You won't need to use the anchors that go into dry wall but do use the wood screws that come with it. Good luck!

You would have to build a shelf. There's no provision for wall hanging built-in.

I think that is right on the line of plausible. I wouldn't chance it. The back is open, so the space you have to put screws is very small. They would have to be close to the edge, which means if it is going to tear, the thing will fall. You could get a very small floating shelf and set it on top of that.

There are different load ratings for the plastic anchors that you insert into the drywall. I believe that these are rated at 20 pounds each, or thereabouts. There are three plastic anchors included with the hangers, but only two of them support any weight, so you should be safe at roughly 40 pounds or less. If you need more than that, I would screw the bracket directly into studs, or use a stronger drywall insert such as a threaded anchor (purchased at a hardware store). If you screw into studs (with long screws you will need to buy at the hardware store) you could probably hold over 200 pounds. The weak link would become the little screws mounted into the back of your picture, not the wall screw. You could beef these up as well, if your frame is thick enough.

I did drill holes in my door, and used the plastic brackets furnished to mount to a wall. This made a very tight, solid installation. But you should be able to buy some removeable, glue-tape brackets, and use them just as well. The shelves worked very well for us.

Hello! It doesn't come with hardware to anchor it, you would have to know how to do that yourself. I think it is doable, you would just have to get creative and know how to use a drill! We really like the shelf. It is pretty sturdy and we haven't had any problems with it!

I didn't have any problems at all. I loosely attached all the screws before tightening any thing down. I could see how there could be issues if someone tightened down one side in which case they wouldn't have any slack to line things up. Also I'm sure you could probably strip the wood if you over-tightened the screws.
