Default How much weight can a wall support (mounting a cabinet on a wall)

I am building an oak cabinet, roughly 48 inches wide, 30 high, and 10 deep
which will contain glassware. I want to wall mount this unit, and I was
wondering if (normal) walls are up to the task, and what are the best means
of anchoring it to the wall to have the best support. Any ideas?


As Charlie said you want the screws secured in the wall studs. If the studs
placement doesn't work for the cabinet a "French cleat" might help. See:
