How much does the cabinet weigh? Can it be surface mounted without going into a stud? Can screws go through back in spots not specified?

It is fairly heavy, should have an exact number in the the shipping information. There is no way I would mount this without going into a stud, NO. It is mirrored in the back, so no screws through the back

I had the person who renovated the bathroom install it, so I'm not sure. The weight is 5-7 pounds (guess). It fits into the cut out wall and I'm sure is attached very strong. I don't know if it can be surface mounted. Kohler customer service should be able to tell you though.

The specs should tell the weight. I was able to install it without help.It requires at least one stud. There is a mounting bar onto which the cabinet is latched

About 10lbs I think.I wouldn't mount without a stud.I'm not sure about unspecified screws.But you could surface mount using butterfly toggle bolts.

I think it depends in how you mount to the wall. We use this piece as part of a home office. It is not solid wood so weight could become a factor. For us it has not been an issue.

There are keyhole-shaped slotted holes on the two ends which hang it like you would attach a power strip. You need to secure the screws to the STUDS in your wall if you expect the cabinet to support significant weight.

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outside of a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.

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.

there are two shelf surfaces on the bottom section, and four in top section. the cabinet is fairly sturdy for a "put together yourself" piece of furniture, and the wood feels solid and has a nice finish which would probably do well in a damp bathroom environment. I changed the wood knobs with brushed nickel knobs that I purchased locally. I think its a nice cabinet.

I gave it as a gift to my daughter. I don't think it's too heavy. I would put it in a lower cabinet

The cabinet weighs between 20 and 25 pounds and are very sturdy. I have bought 3 of these 1 in white and 2 in the wood tone. I'm very happy with these cabinets and would buy more . Hope this helps you.

The cabinet can be surface mounted or recessed. I used it surface mounted but it required a piece of plywood to be mounted first for stability. The cabinet is pretty heavy.

The wood does not need to be very thick as the item is rather light - even with glasses. However, the screws that came with it were long enough to go through the bottom of my cabinet, so I went with some shorter screws.

The last page of the instruction/installation manual lists the total weight limits (when installed as described with the 6 long wood screws in wall studs): 90lbs on the top shelf; 20lbs on the middle shelves. 20lbs on the lower shelves. Clearly the TV does not need to be mounted. I have a 42" sitting on the unit.

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.

It's pretty heavy; I'm guessing 30-40 lbs, so it would take a lot to hold it up into the wall studs. Someone would have to drill through the back to mount it, as there's nothing on the back already existing for that.

The cabinet can be wall mounted or recess mounted. Mine is wall mounted, which I think is a good way to go given the mirrored sides of the cabinet. However, if I measure the depth of the cabinet from the back to the edge where the door rests it would be 3--inhes.

Good Question, The cabinet was well protected in the packaging, but there is not 18 pounds of packing. The cabinet felt like it weighed way more than 2 pounds but I installed them 6 weeks ago and this point, can't guess what they weighed.

I'm not sure about the hardware and extra height part of your question, it probably depends on where you position on the actual cabinet. You probably could mount it flush with the wall or mount it at the front of the cabinet too. The mount is clear so I don't even notice it.

I can't weigh it while it's hanging on the wall; the weight should be specified in the shipping. If you are asking if the shelf is sturdy and of good quality, yes, I'm more than pleased.
