Hello everyone, I plan to install an Ikea PAX wardrobe on a drywall in my apartment. Since the wall is not solid, I am unsure how to securely and permanently fix the wardrobe without damaging the wall or the wardrobe. My main question is: What fastening methods and materials are best suited to anchor an Ikea PAX firmly to drywall? I am also interested in advice on load capacity, suitable types of anchors, and any necessary preparation steps for the wall. Thanks in advance for your tips!

One more tip: before installation, test all screws and anchors on the wall as a trial. This way, you can see if the wall holds at that spot. Also, never cut corners on the cabinet; the fasteners should be of high quality.
