We’re estimating my mirror will weigh about 50lbs. The monitor is about 20lbs. I haven’t unwrapped the mirror yet because I don’t need 7 yrs bad luck right now. :) The guys were arguing that my plan to have a board across the top as a French cleat or to anchor the French cleat will put too much stress on the board and the top of the frame. None of you seem to have any trouble…

RE: Wall Mounts
What are the weights of your mirrors? I’m getting ready to construct my frame this coming weekend, and we were talking about the build yesterday. I’ve got a 20" x 30" glass mirror and 32" monitor. I haven’t gotten the wood yet, but pine seems the likely candidate. I have talked about the French cleat to hang it, but there’s concern about how to secure it to the frame. I want my mirror to be portrait instead of landscape, so they’re worried that the weight at the bottom will put too much stress on the top at the point where the French cleat is attached and that I should have a way to hang it from both the top and the bottom to evenly distribute the weight along the frame.
