Fitting of half pedestal wash basin
 

Which arrived today.
I imagined with the weight of the basin and half pedestal ( both very heavy)
that the half pedestal would be secured to the wall by some means and the
basin screwed to the wall as well
Not so... the pedestal will be held on to the bottom of the basin by 2
springs, there is no means of securing it to the wall ,and the weight of
both items by 2 srews at the back of the basin. The bit it screws through is
just quater inch of porcelain near the edge.

Even then the holes are in a position where a normal screwdriver would be on
an angle.

I'm a bit concerned about all the weght and only supported by two screws.

Any suggestions

MFI by the way.... rung them 4 times this morning, no bath supports, springs
for pedestal, but no washers/fitting,toilet but no pan, cistern but no
ballcock/fittings, taps broken, this issue.... waste of time.
