If the product is to be hanged on the wall, it must be done with the designated suspension rail (sold separately at IKEA). Assess the wall to ensure that it will withstand the weight. As wall materials vary, screws for wall fixation are not included. For advice on suitable screw systems for your wall, contact your local specialised dealer.
