Backing and mounting the cabinet
1. Do I need backing?
The back is open unless you purchase a cabinet/hamper with a drawer. If your cabinet/hamper has a drawer then the drawer portion is covered. See the picture below. Full hardboard backing serves no functional purpose and is for aesthetics only. Our cabinets/hampers are sturdy and solid. For those customers who would prefer backing, we do sell it separately located in the dropdown menu. This backing must be purchased at the same time as your item and can't be shipped after your cabinet has shipped without charging shipping.
If purchased, the back of the cabinet is hardboard backing. As you can see, it's not a 'finished' back. But then again, most backs are to the wall. Finished backing, which includes painting the backing is not available. It is only available as depicted.
2. Where is the mounting hole on cabinets and hampers and do I need to use it?
The mounting hole can be found in the back of the bin/hamper on the inside. If you have a drawer, remove the drawer to locate it. If not, just open the door and look towards the back. It is built into the triangle side pieces behind the cabinet. See picture below. Drill through the backing if you have it and into your structure.
