How much does 22 x 35 board weigh? How does it mount? Looking to put it in a dorm room which does not allow nails in the wall so not sure if this board is too heavy.

I have mine hung up with stick on hooks that you can find just about anywhere these days. They seem to be plenty strong enough for the weight of the product. I used wire to allow the board to sit flat if that is important to you. Hope this helps.

The Board doesn't weigh that much, I'd say under 3 lbs easy. The mounting hardwares is similar to a picture frame with slots in the frame at the edges. Hope this helps and good luck!

I'm super lazy....so, the first time I hung mine - I tried to use tacks. If i was only hanging paper, that may have worked. But I'm using them to hang and display my jewelry. The tacks lasted about 2 months before I was woken up by a loud clatter and bang as it fell to the ground at 2 am.I'm not hanging them up using 1 screw (they include the screw and drywall mounts) and 1 tack. Because aligning it to both tacks was a pain in the ass - and as I said. I'm lazy. This combo has been up for 6 months and shows no signs of slippage.

The mount itself is not heavy. I'd guess maybe 20 pounds. The TV is the heavy object. The specs say it supports up to 66 lbs of TV, so obviously do not exceed that limit. As far as the stud -- this is a ceiling mount fixture, so I'm going to assume you meant the ceiling joist. I mounted mine w/ 50 inch TV in the corner of the room to the joist using the lag bolt hardware provide and it is rock solid. I could probably do a chin-up on it. I cant image any normal situation where the ceiling would fail before the mount itself, but obviously doing anything like this yourself assumes some risk on your part. The mount itself is not heavy.

I bought this for my dorm. I bought command strips for it because we are not allowed to use nails. I haven't had a problem with damage!

Purchased it for my daughter in college. It did not come with a headboard, or at least we did not order one. So one could have no headboard or as you suggest, add your own. You may not be able to attach is but you can certainly, with the weight of the bed, keep it preasured between the bed and the wall.

I have the Metolius simulator on it, and it's pretty heavy. I personally would not trust a thin piece of plywood because that plywood should support your weight + the holds and the board. The board is probably around 5-10 lbs.

The bracket is taller than both board sizes, I'd guess between 9 and 10 inches. It's important to have the bottom (where the arms are) of the bracket even with the top, since the bottom anchors the whole thing. So, if you were to choose a board instead of a wall, I would suggest a 2x12. Best option is still a wall.

I think it depends in how you mount to the wall. We use this piece as part of a home office. It is not solid wood so weight could become a factor. For us it has not been an issue.

It's very light weight actually. I culd see it tipping over easily with the slightest tug making the wall strap to nail it to the wall a necessity. There really isn't much to the shelf . Most of it is thin particle board or as I referred to it, slightly heavier cardboard. There are a few wooden pieces to frame it up but even that's pretty thin. My wife and I ended up finding a shelf that was much nicer at target and only slightly larger. They didn't sell it online so we had to go to the store, but it was worth the trip.

I'm 165 lbs and it held my weight with very minimal flex, very well. The boards around this price range are always pretty stiff, which could be considered an advantage for heavier riders.

i havent had a chanse to measure but i would say between 2 inches to 3 inches. It fits on the stud in the walls so thats not a problem and holds a lot of weight!

Manufacturing specs for the product spell out the weight limits in detail. If necessary, go online to get specs. I wall mounted mine to a wall stud with the screws included and mounted a 24" monitor that weighs aprox. 15 pounded, it works perfectly and I would strongly recommend this product.

The hardware itself doesn't damage the wall. But if you drive a nail into the wall to hang the boards then yes, obviously, you'll do some damage to your wall. The boards are very light and could easily be held with a string.

It's pretty light, due to it's size. It still might be a good deterrent if kept under the bed or in another out of site location, but someone can easily pick it up. It's a perfect size for a dorm room though. Good luck! Lisa, Seattle

I would not try to hang it on anything narrower than 1 1/2" (2X4, 2X6 etc.) Some modular homes use smaller studs, and I don't think I would trust them to hold the weight. You will want to find the centre of the stud - I use a small nail & pound it through the drywall to find each edge of the stud. Then drill a pilot hole right in the center or close to it. I think I used 5/16 lag bolts, into a 3/16 hole. I would use 2" long lag bolts, and drill the hole about 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" deep so the point can grab into wood too. If you don't driill a pilot hole you are likely to split the stud with one or more of the lag bolts. But of course don't drill it tooo large either or it may not hold. Good luck.

It is fairly heavy and must be screwed into studs. No, you will not be able to use it in a dorm without leaving a mark.

I was never able to find out the manufacturer rated capacity but I purchased this product and am using it to support a 10 pound fixture. I have the hook screwed into a wooden beam and it is working fine with no signs of bending or cracking. Sorry I can't give you a more exact response. By the way, I would not recommend using a toggle wing nut to mount through wall board.

I have a laminated poster that weighs about 2 pounds. The hanger holds it easily. There could be potential for bending the poster where you clip it when you're closing the hanger or putting the poster on the wall, especially if it's a big heavy poster. I'd get another person to help just to be sure.
