Wall Mount
Has anyone ever tried to wall mount cabinetry to make a modern bathroom vanity?
My husband and I are trying to do a low cost rehab of a large bathroom. I found a tv stand that is a perfect fit if we can somehow wall mount it for a floating effect and add vessel sinks and a glass countertop. The only problem is that the piece is heavy and we have metal studs for the most part. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
You need to find the center of the metal studs, either with a stud finder or use a very small diameter nail and poke through the wall to find the edges of the stud. The next stud should be 16 inches apart. Find the center for both studs where you want to mount the TV stand.
You may need to use 4 right angle brackets to hold the the tv stand. 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. Next drill holes into the metal studs at the height that you want the brackets and secure them to the wall with metal screws.
I would suggest a # 10 metal screw at lest 1.5 inches long or larger. Use a drill bit that is smaller then the diameter of the screw under the threads.
