How to Mount a Hutch on the Wall

Place the hutch against the wall where you want to hang it. Mark the top and bottom edges of the hutch with a pencil. Remove the hutch from the wall and set it aside.

Run a stud finder across the wall between the two lines. Mark the edges of every stud with a pencil. Extend the marks past the two lines so they will be visible when the hutch is against the wall.

Place the hutch back in position and set it on a cabinet jack. Ask for help from a friend if a cabinet jack is not available.

Set a level on top of the hutch. Adjust the hutch until the bubble on the level is firmly in the center.

Drill pilot holes through the rear of the hutch, 2 inches from the top and directly in the center of each wall stud.

Insert two 1/2-inch drywall screws through finishing washers. Screw them into the pilot holes until the screw head is pulled tight against the washer.

Drill a second set of pilot holes in each wall stud, slightly over halfway down the back of the hutch. Install finishing washers and drywall screws.
