Would love to see some pictures of your floating TV stand from IKEA! Just trying to get some ideas of what it looks like in real people's homes, not just the catalog. Anything would be appreciated 😉😉😉

Hello,

I'd like to turn the Besta Burs Ikea TV stand into a floating TV stand.

It weighs around 130 pounds (~60 kg).

Any idea what would be the best way of solidly hanging it to the wall?

I was thinking about maybe using some sort of shelf brackets like the guy on this video.

Another solution would be to use a horizontal 'hanging rail' as seen on this other video. From what I've found so far, it seems that most stands that are actually designed to be hanged use this system. But then, most of these stands aren't this heavy...

I have a solid wall.

What do you guys think? What would be the best way of going about doing this?

Thank you.

So, looking for ideas on how to mount this unit above my tv. There’s no extra bracketry or mounting hardware available. It seems to assume you’ve got wall studs 24inches on center. My house is 16. This will not hang safely with anchor mounts into my plaster walls.

In order to keep it flush the wall, should I craft up a wooden backing plate that I can affix to the 4 aluminum brackets, where I can then screw the backing plate to my studs after I’ve found the exact position in the wall I want it?

Thanks in advance if you know of a better pre fabricated aluminum strip or bracketry!
