Assuming that I have appropriate fixings, what is the maximum weight I
should try to hang from a plasterboard wall?

I have one of these:

going to need to be wall-mounted. 400 CDs make quite a weight, and the

About 10kg a mile. Opinions will vary, but hanging 2 overcoats on a
coathook with metal toggles repeatedly proved too much. If you can
screw through into masonry behind, and bung some filler or plaster in
there, things really improve.
