How to Attach a Kitchen Table to a Wall

Attaching a kitchen table to the wall provides a more permanent solution for kitchen seating. This is also a way for parents to childproof their kitchen by eliminating the possibility of the table tipping when a small child pulls on the edge. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

1

Place the stud finder on the wall in the location where you want to attach the table. Slowly move the stud finder horizontally along the wall to locate two side-by-side studs.

2

Mark the stud locations using a pencil. A stud is needed to support the table's weight once it is attached. A typical drywall connection will not support the table.

3

Press the table edge to the wall with the base resting naturally on the floor. Line the wall bracket with the wall stud on the underside of the table. Draw a pencil mark on the wall through the bracket screw hole and remove the brackets.

4

Drill a hole through each marked location and replace the brackets. Drive one 3-inch screw through the bracket to attach it to the wall stud.

5

Drive one 1/2-inch screw through the top drill section on the wall bracket to attach it to the table.
