Is this designed to install in drywall or does it require studs?

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

This can be installed in dry wall no studs required. I can confirm, it will hold the weight it is advertised for.

Yes, screws that can be used for wall studs or with heavy duty dry wall anchors. Just need a power drill, bits& Phillips head to install

Yes use studs for dry wall. The matal bars are to heavy. But when done right it looks perfect

I did not use any studs. I use the mount in my RV and made a 3"x4" block out of plywood and mounted it with 4 screws in the fiber board wall. It actually gives you a little more clearance from the wall to tilt horizontally and holds the 32" tv OK.

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!

A stud is your best bet. But it may depend on what your wall is made of. Our drywall couldn't hold this, with anchors.

All you need is a hole in the drywall the size of the speaker and about an inch clearance all around the hole for the speaker-hook-grab-arms to swing out the pull on the inside of the drywall for the secure mount. i.e. can't install upagainst a stud. ---Dale

I don't really know. This was attached in a shower over tile. I really like it, it is secure in the shower, but don't have a definitive answer about studs or not. Sorry.

You could mount to drywall, but I would use toggle bolts instead of anchors. If you will be hanging something fairly heavy, like a ladder, and putting it up and down fairly often, then you should definitely screw into studs. I have three mounted to studs and they work fine.

We used toggle anchors because of the amount of weight we are putting on it as well as in being directly installed into dry wall. If you can install it directly to studs, you might not have to use toggle anchors.

You can mount it to drywall if you have to. I have 2 of these in different rooms and I have them done both ways. I used my own anchors and screws for the mount and I used them in all available holes. The thing is solid like this.

It comes with about 4 large head screws (if I remember right) to be bolted to a 2x4 stud. You can use molly bolts for direct dry wall installation, but if you plan on putting expensive electronics on it, its best to bolt it to a wall stud. Its not free standing.

Be careful with it! Mine is in dry wall, but it's pretty heavy duty dry wall. Try to find studs in the waall if possilbe

It can be installed on wood studs. It comes with the necessary hardware for both.

depends on what your screwing into.If drywall then drywall screws with anchors.Into a stud use wood screws.

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...

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.
