Hello. I have a question. I wanted to install an ordinary shoe cabinet on my bedroom wall. However since the cabinet has a very thin back, it would be difficult to attach it to the wall. Except from the back, the rest of the cabinet looks very strong, which is why I got it in the first place for shoes. Our walls are pretty dry and hard so I know it will be difficult to drill and I would probably need many screws to hold the cabinet.

I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on whether and how I can install this cabinet safely withought fearing it will one day fall off the wall. Also I can give you the weight and or measurememnts of our cabinet if you want. And what size and length screws would i need to use for this?

Thank you

I made it by myself. I used woodprix scripts for that.
