Should I screw the disks into a wall stud

You most definitely need to screw this item into the wall studs. In my case I added a board and screwed it into two wall studs to create an area where I could center and screw the Samsung wall hanger. Do not use sheetrock anchors to suspend your TV!!!!!

Depends on the weight of the TV, but I would think that most of the time you are ok with it in drywall.

I made sure to at least hit a stud with one of the disks. And instead of the plastic toggle bolt supplied, I went to the hardware store and picked up an inexpensive metal one similar in size. This just gave me extra peace of mind for the disk that did not hit a stud. This mount works perfectly for my Samsung UN55ES8000 55-Inch.

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

If the wall is tall enough and you screw it into the wall. I love this shelf set, it looks great in any room.

No. There is a mounting board that you screw into the wall. Then, the shelf sits onto that piece. You can then screw the shelf into the studs for further support. Essentially, it mounts like toungue-in-groove flooring.

what you are screwing them into and how much weight will be on them would have to be considered. should be screwed into studs if so every 4 ft would be fine for most things

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

I wouldn't. It weighs a lot and it will be under a lot of stress. If I were you, I would mount a 4-2"x6"'s horizontally across your wall, attaching them to your studs, and then mount the pull-up bar through the studs on one side and into just the 2"x6"'s on the other side.

I wouldn't recommend attaching that much weight to the drywall. I'm using some small JBL's, and made sure they were anchored into the studs.

We screwed ours into the wall. I think you are supposed to screw it into the wall. We put wall anchors in for even better hold when a stud was not an option. They worked wonderfully for us!!

You don't need to mount it to a stud. Mounting the bracket to standard thickness sheetrock is fine as long as you use mollies. This allows a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can locate the board and I've been mounting my boards this way for 30 years. Mollies with 30-50 lbs capacity are fine (use one for each of the 2 screws). You might want to consider using a back board, though, particularly if you or anyone else likely to use the board is a beginner (protects your wall !!). Good luck.

For something lightweight mounting into drywall would be OK. If you plan of putting anything heavy on the shelf or several different gaming systems, I would mount it in a stud. I mounted in drywall and I have a "Dish" Joey and a blue ray DVD player. It holds those two without problem.

I attached mine under a suspended kichen cabinet. Yes to your question if you screw to a stud.

Yes its best to mount it on studs so it wont become loose and fall off! This set is heavy itself!

You should install studs at the top, mid and bottom. There are countersunk screw holess on each surface to hold this unit in place. Use the treated screws for the cement board in these holes. I set the bottom one at the appropriate level and secured it in place. I then inserted the mid stud into the shelf unit and put the unit in the wall to place the stud in the correct location. Then I secured that stud in place. Next I placed the top piece in place by lowering it from above the unit and then secured it in place. At that point you can remove the shelf or screw it in place depending on other tasks you may want to complete before securing the shelf unit.I hope that helps you out.

You could use small, thin nails. Wouldn't recommend screws for reinforcement. It really comes down to the amount of and weight of things you intend to use within the storage bench. I've got a TV, DVD player, and a few other things on the very top with a jewelry box, DVDs, and some small statues within the cubby holes.

I mounted them in studs to be on the safe side. While anchor screws may hold the unit tight against the wall, I would not want to risk having my two boards come crashing to my concrete garage floor. Good luck!

hello i do not know what you have for a wall but i can tell you i had the same problem i did not have any studs to work with but here is what i did.i used several large plastic anchors about6 anchors you can drill into sheet rock or plaster wall.using just 1 stud probably you will not do it i had a 40 inch tv.if u usereally big plastic anchors it will carry a good bit of wheight.and do so safely. believe me it wont fall down as the tvs are not really heavy.i would not use 1 stud as the tv may tilt or come loose.if you can locate at least 2 studs it will be ok.plastic anchors will carry a great deal of weight but use thebigest ones you can buy. what i am trying to tell you forget the studs and go into a flat surface on your wall. it will work have no fear of it falling. hope this helps you tony.
