Does this shelf need to be attached to a stud or can it go straight into the drywall?

You will need anchors or "Mollys" for the sheetrock, if you do not hit a stud if you plan on putting any weight on the shelf.

There is a board that you screw into the wall studs. I predrilled the holes to make it easier to screw in the screws, they are about 3 inches long. The shelf has a matching board that attaches to the back of the shelf. Then you lift the shelf on the board that is in the wall and they lock together.

Definitely need to frame it out in studs, including one in the middle. Not hard to do at all. Use long drywall screws, seems to work well...

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.

Don't have to screw into studs. Just with the wall anchors that open in the back and then screw securely to the back of the wall.

I havent received mine yet but I can tell you that this absolutely requires studs. You want to know that it is mounted securely especially if you put weight on the shelves such as cable boxes, dvd player, dvds, and anything else.

Correct! The shelf does move as it is not secured to the wall. Regardless for the price and ease of installation it is awesome.

Yes it needs to be mounted, you can't sit it flat because the brackets go underneath the lower shelf.

You can use the screw/hooks into a stud, these come with the rack. If installing to dry wall you will need toggle bolts not supplied.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.

No way it would work unless you aren't planning to actually store anything inside. No need to drill into the studs because the material the cabinet is made from is basically cardboard that has been glued together. The drywall itself is probably 10-15x stronger than the cabinet.

The shelf hooks onto the window frame. The supports underneath have rubber feet in contact with the wall. There are no fasteners required.

You could easily take the shelf with you. You'll have to buy new mounting materials (which would just be screws if you're mounting into studs, otherwise you might need plugs, too).

This is a heavy piece and I wouldn't mount it into drywall. Run a couple of 2x4's horizontally linking your wall studs and screw the pull up bar into the 2x4's. If you don't, the side bolted into the drywall without a stud to support will pull out. It may not be pretty but it will be functional. Good luck

The shelf is fastened with metal brackets that are screwed into pre-drilled holes.I suppose that the pre drilled could easily be relocated without any problems.

No, it attaches to the wall and you screw in 4 bolts into the studs or use anchor bolts. I screwed 2 into a stud and 2 anchor bolts.

It'd be best if you could install it into studs, but if you mount it flush to the floor I'd assume heavy duty drywall anchors would do the job nicely.
