Identify Wall Studs: Use a stud finder to locate wall studs behind your piece of furniture. Studs are typically spaced 16 inches apart, but sometimes they can be 24 inches apart. Mark the stud locations lightly on the wall with a pencil or use removable painter s tape to avoid leaving permanent marks1.

Position the Furniture: Move the furniture against the wall, ensuring that it overlaps two studs. Choose studs that are as far apart as possible while still remaining within the width of the furniture piece. For example, if you have a 40-inch-wide dresser, choose studs that are 32 inches apart1. Mark Furniture Height on Wall: On the wall, mark a light horizontal line across each stud. These lines should be about one or two inches below the top of the furniture piece1.
