Put another way, I'm easily 15st+ and I'm confident that a single 10mm rawl bolt, correctly fitted, in a masonry wall would easily bear my weight. In fact, holding a 3mm plate it should support about half a ton, and then it will be the plate that will distort and fail before the bolt.

How much do you think your stocked cabinet will weigh + number of bolts holding it?

Mine is completely off the floor - to miss the skirting. The weight goes straight down the external wall. No floor loading at all. Prop it in place, drill straight through the bolt holes, in with resin and studs, wait an hour (while you do the other one), tighten up, fill it up.
