Building Media Center CABINETS
What happens here
Attach thin plywood or hardboard backing to the rear of the shelving units for added stability and to square up the units. For wall mounting the lower cabinets, rip 1x2 pine boards to create French cleats. One part of the cleat is attached to the cabinet's top rear edge, with the other part being secured to the wall studs. This method allows the cabinet to hang securely and flush against the wall. Ensure the wall-mounted cleat is level and securely fastened to studs.
Goal: Reinforce the cabinet structure by attaching backing pieces and install support cleats for wall mounting.
