The weight of the toilet and user is carried by the pedestal of the WC
and hence carried by the floor not the wall. The wall is just cosmetic
to hide the cistern.


But in the picture the pedestal isn't in contact with the floor.

There is a difference between "back to the wall" WCs that the OP asked
about, and wallhung WCs that the picture *may* show (I am not sure about
that picture - it has a raytraced quality to it!).

Obviously if you want a wall hung WC then the studwork frame wants to be
far more substantial (i.e. build from 4x2" with noggins placed to carry
the load and allow rigid fixing of the pan)
