Its going onto plasterboard.

Got some brackets from b&q as the ones with the mirror were pissy little things that i dont think will support the weight.

No holes in back of mirrors.

i prefer using this kind of fixing when screwing into plasterboard. they are very strong.

We fitted mine with 4 brass brackets screwed into the mirror itself on the back, then into the wall itself with heavy duty wall plugs and screws from B&Q

Then all you need is a spirit level, tape measure etc
