My apt. has metal studs not wood and the instructions say not to use wall achors, so is there any way for me to install ths desk?

That's a tough question.....I have to say NO. Unless you can get a look at the stud in the wall and if its thin enough, get self tapping screws that will screw into the metal stud..... but that's really a hit or miss unless tried., good luck

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

You'd need a stud finder and drill into the studs. This is actually great because you can get a really sturdy hold on the desk. That said, you'd need a stud-finder and drill as well as the right kinda screws.

The best solution I have found is to epoxy two metal plates to the underside of the desk and then use sheet metal screws to attach the keyboard tray to the metal plates. A standard wood desktop is 3/4", but particle board may vary and is not a reliable material for trays of this style.

yes you can but you would probably need to get 4 shorter screws to replace the ones that attach the corner frame to the desks. I really like this desk for the money I paid.

Yes, you can add it. You will need to take the top of the desk off to install it though.

These need to be screwed into something like wood. I suppose you could drill holes in your metal slats and them use nuts and bolts rather than the screws that come with these, but drilling the slats would be tough without the right drill and bit. You might be able to get wood slats if your metal frame has a channel for them and then screw these in.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

Is there any way to side mount these shelves? I have an old computer desk where the bottom portion has no back so I need to anchor any shelf to the side.

It does not come with any wall mounting hardware nor instructions. If you wanted to mount it, you could put up a shelf and set it on that. Otherwise, you'd have to drill holes in it, etc. to create your own mounting system.

Unfortunately not, I have been looking for something I could use for shelves. But I'm very picky. The desk and hutch are very nice though!!!

No. Strictly desktop. There are no mounting points on the base to attach it to a wall.

If you open the cabinet, on the top shelf you will see a strip of wood that goes across and its thicker. I drilled the holed through that wood. Then put into studs on wall where possible. Hope this helps.

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

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 can customize where you mount it but it recommended mounting at least 1" of space back from the front edge of the desk. So long as there is enough room for the bracket you will be fine, just use the bracket as a guide to where exactly you want it and you can stick it there (the piece has a strong adhesive which allows you some freedom to work) and then you just put the screws in and compete setup and viola!

Nope, you cannot! I've been using this pc desk every single day since 2009 and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!

If you really wanted this desk you could just drill holes for the base board to go on the opposite side of the bottom of the desk. And turn the desk the other way. I hope what I'm trying to say isn't confusing.

That's really not possible. The weight will pull any toggles right out of the wall and take a big chunk on drywall with them. Your best best if you can't get into the studs is to mount a piece of 3/4" cabinet grade plywood or another very strong backing material to the wall studs and then mount the shelf to the plywood. We did that and then painted the backing the same color as the wall and you really can't even see it. Keep the size of the plywood limited to a minimum. We cut ours the height of the shelf unit (with brackets) and then the width to the width necessary to secure to the studs. Mine is loaded with hanging pots and then other items on the shelf.
