Would I need to attach this product to a wall or ceiling?

While I don't disagree with the "wall" responses, the manufacturer sates, "Ceiling mounting is preferred in ordinary residential construction."

Wall . Just realize this is battery operated not electric though. Read the fine print

I agree with David A. Senechal. Your best bet is to use drywall tape, assuming your ceiling is of drywall construction.

Probably not. It screws into the ceiling so it will need to anchor to something.

Wall: Sure, just drill some holes carefully in the wooden stick attached to the vertical edge, so as to not crack the stick-wooden part.Ceiling: That's a pretty unusual idea. I think it's too heavy for suspending above or over your living space because it might fll down and hurt you. Try a lighter bamboo windowshade for that job instead.

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

Yes you can install on wall or ceiling. The hardware is provided in the package. Easy to install.

It can be attached to a wall. If the wall is "drywall", it would be be better if it were attached to a stud, located behind the wall.

With a little creativity, yes. Install electrical box, etc. But, it seems a little flimsy to fix permanently to a wall.Ypu might want something more substancial.

There's no constructional limitation to being able to mount on a wall, but as others have stated, the best location is the ceiling... and they really are so minimal that I hadn't noticed ours for the first few months after my husband installed it... I had to go looking for it.

Yes, you need to mount it to a wall. It comes with hardware to do it. Very easy to do.

I mounted on the ceiling. If you have the electrical wiring and box I can't see why you could not mount it to the wall. I really like it. Is mounted in the kitchen area with the lights aimed at the counter tops. Looks great.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

Hey Joshua - You can mount this on the wall OR ceiling. It takes a bit of trial and error to get a feel for the coverage.

I didn't attach this to the wall but set it on top of a console. I attached some earthquake ties to it and the wall but didn't use the wall bracket or screws. I would think some standard 2 inch wood screws would do the trick but can't tell you for sure.

For both ceiling and side walls you'd have to get different hooks, which are meant for just that. These are probably best for above the window.

You can do both. It will set on the floor and has the key like attachments if you want to secure it to a wall. I suggest if you are going to mount it to a wall find moly "fixtures" and layer them in multiple units. If you do find a stud, anchor that on that side. Use moly bolts/fasteners if your 2x4/ are not where they should be.:)

If you're installing it into a dry wall ceiling (not beams) then I suggest you get better anchors. The ones that come with it aren't very good in my opinion.
