Good morning everyone,
Here is the situation:
Bathroom
A drywall partition with metal studs
Double-layered and additionally reinforced with wood/OSB at (hopefully) the crucial points
Tiles are already installed
Now, a wall-mounted vanity cabinet with a washbasin is to be installed here.
Unfortunately, I’m concerned we didn’t consider the weight enough.
My gut feeling says it should hold, but I don’t want to rely on that alone and prefer to be as safe as possible.
According to the installation instructions, the cabinet should be screwed to the wall at a total of 8 points.
I am now looking for the "best" anchors/screws/fastening options suitable for this purpose.
Classic metal hollow wall anchors from F....?
Or are there other alternatives?
Thanks for your advice,
best regards

I always assume that someone will stand on it for dusting, watering plants, killing mosquitoes, etc.They would be immediately dealt with on the spot 😡 😱
No, seriously, that won’t happen.
The table is not suitable for that purpose.

I just noticed, kg per meter...... and that’s without OSB reinforcement! With it, the load increases significantly again.N

for dusting, watering plants, killing mosquitoes, etc. Yeah, right

As I mentioned, OSB was installed behind the drywall panels for reinforcement.Then it works, so go ahead with your anchors

But as I mentioned earlier, I expect it to hold. The substructure already looked very sturdy.
If you see a headline in the newspaper in the next two weeks saying "Man killed by washbasin," you'll know it wasn’t as stable as expected 🤨
