fleepflawp asked:


The wine rack has a mount with two screw holes, and then there are like three loopy metal pieces that hang off it with room for six wine bottles through the loops. My walls are plaster. I was planning on drilling a hole directly into the wall stud and using plastic expansion anchors. Will this work, or is there a better way? I’ve heard conflicting reports. I also bought some toggle bolts but it seems like a better idea to go directly into the stud. Do I even need anchors if screwing into the stud? Thanks!

      I would toggle bolts.

      You don’t need anchors if you are sure you are hitting the studs.

      if hitting the studs no anchors needed, if not use the toggle bolts, plastic anchors suck.

      An anchor if you dont need an anchor if you may lose your wine you dont need an anchor if you dont need an anchor if you do that just ordinary wood screws at.
      The stud otherwise you dont need an anchor if you dont need an anchor if you do that just ordinary wood screws at least two inches long.
      The best thing is to screw straight into the stud otherwise you do that just ordinary wood screws at least two inches long.
