And I need to hang it on a drywall wall I usually just screw a wooden support into the studs.. but the stud positions aren't in a good spot for where I want to hang it..
Do you guys have any ideas.. I was thinking along the lines of cleat!!!
It's in a kids room so safety is a major concern as it's 40" wide and about 24" high
They'd show a little but a really simple solution that I use for stuff in the house on sheetrock is Gorilla, anchor wire hooks. They come in two sizes and will hold a ton of weight. Two would work for you. You push them into the sheetrock and tilt them up. Only the little hook at the bottom shows. The larger ones… about 3" long hold up to 50 pounds each. They install in seconds and just work. very stiff, spring steel wire. A lot of my stuff in the house is hung with these.
You can find them at lowes in two sizes where the picture hanging hardware is.
Ed, after putting the anchors in the wall, you put a screw in them and hang you shelf unit from the screws. You can attach a piece of picture wire across the back or I would place the anchors to align with 2 points on the shelf and use key hole brackets to hang it. I use a Keyhole router bit to cut the keyholes in my projects that need hanging. This is what a keyhole bracket is and they are available at any hardware or home store.
