I mounted them to a dry walled wall but located them directly over studs for best strength. These are very good looking and strong brackets.

I would say to never ever ever hang anything besides pictures on just drywall. U will need to drive this into studs. Great mount for the job! Be safe!

No, not at all. As long as you can find a wooden stud, you should be fine screwing it in by hand. I have a metal frame behind my wall so I had to get special screws to hold it in JUST the dry wall and it's holding steady with about 10 pounds of books on there. So it's more about the screws yet get, rather then this product.

Make sure you use. GOOD drywall anchors (toggles or similar). Mine is mounted with no stud. Holding strong for a year fully loaded (about 10 heavy duty AS pots & pans)

It will work in dry wall. I still would try to get at least 1 screw into a stud just for added safety.

I would not mount it on dry wall alone, the weight of the tv will pull itOff.

Yes. I mounted it with the included 'double sided tape' to a painted brick wall in my laundry room above the utility sink and it has held up for almost 6 months now. I did no prep work (i.e. clean wall with alcohol). I use it several times a week. The area where its mounted is very humid and I live in Florida. It doesn't feel like its going to fall off any time soon.It did come with screws and dry wall anchors but I didn't use it.

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

I have used mine mounted to the wall for over a year now & have had no problems at all! Just make sure you use a strong enough lag bolt when doing so & you will have no problem!

Hello, I don't think you can mount it on dry wall. There are 2-3 holes in the horizontal bar, plus two in the vertical one. I mounted it on a solid wall and it required screw anchors (wall plugs) as well as screws, of course. Please note that these are not included.

It did not work on the c. 1920 plaster walls in my house. It did work on one wall that has been updated with sheetrock.

We put it in our bathroom also, and so far, it's held up nicely. We only have adults in our home, and no little ones. Our home is a 1918 bungalow style with plaster walls. There are a few in-perfections in the walls, and still I think that the paper covered nicely. I did use a wall paper paste, sprayed the adhesive side of the paper, and paint the paste on the wall. Once I smoothed it out, it dried great, and has not come up any place on the wall. Good luck :)

I have mine mounted on studs, 32" apart. It holds quite a bit, though I have not measured the weight of the load. If the main supports are not mounted on studs, it would definitely pull out of the dry wall fully loaded. Also, if the rod gets weaker as it is pulled longer and longer (tube in tube design...expands....but you lose strength with expansion)

It works on plaster wall if you tie the yellow round target with a fish line or any light weight line and drag it on the wall untill it it sticks to the wall, I have tried it on plaster wall, tile and over a mirror and it worked very well.

Yes I tried it on a plaster wall and it did not stick. It fell off within minutes. I ended up buying chalkboard paint instead and that works great.

This installed very easily on dry wall. I used drywall anchors and screws rated for 75lbs from home depot.

I don't know about plaster since there might be a lath in the plaster. Mine works great through 4 walls and 1 floor over a distance of 140 feet. The walls are standard sheetrock/2x4 and the floor is wood. Hope this helps.
