[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have that same mirror or similar! You can use drywall anchors and then put screws into the anchors. Will hold just fine.[/quote] OP here. Really? It's a heavy (Pottery Barn) item. Thanks for your feedback![/quote] The larger drywall anchors should indicate how much weight they can hold on the package. [/quote] Don't use drywall anchors. The pull from this mirror will be down and you want to spread the weight over as much drywall as possible, not just the 1/4" for a screw. You are much better off getting heavy weight picture hooks, which will be for weights up to 50lbs each. Get two (which you should do anyway for anything bigger than 8x10) and nail them into wall. That said, the best approach if this is heavy is the idea of screwing a thin board to the wall, with the screws going into studs, and then using that to hang the mirror from.[/quote]
