Hello,
in my desperate search on the internet, I came across this forum and hope that a solution for my problem can still be found today (on Sunday) – I am stuck with the assembly.

I bought a Besta Boas TV wall unit with an Uppleva Ormo TV wall mount.
Although I asked if all the screws were included, it became clear during assembly that the screws to attach the mount to the back panel of the BESTA Boas are missing again.

WHAT screws, size/length do I need to finally secure my TV safely to the wall mount?

I have a mixed selection of screws in my cabinets, including SPAX 4*35 (4mm x 35mm (1.4 inches)), and I might just use 5 or 6 of those instead of the 3 according to the instructions, but I am not sure if such relatively thin screws can hold the weight of the 32" device...

Can you help?

Thank you in advance,
Mary

Take a look at page 24 of the Besta Boas assembly instructions. It shows two security bolts, flat washers, and wing nuts. As you can see on page 9, these should also have been included with the Besta Boas.

Thanks for the reply.
During the day, I finally found the solution...
But it’s really frustrating that the instructions for mounting the TV are included with the shelf, not with the wall bracket (which you have to buy separately).
