Resistance is futile
I've never really used the OEM upper cabinet in my 349M garage much but on this last trip, I put 4 boxed up motorcycle innertubes in it.
After 3 days of driving, I found the bottom of it coming out.
It seems to be secured to the wall just fine, but the bottom against the wall was held in place with 5 very small trim staples. And they're put in vertically from the bottom oriented to be easily pulled out by any weight from the top.
I replaced these with 4 1/4" countersunk wood screws so I could load more than a couple rolls of paper towels in the cabinet.
This is just a heads up - if you put anything substantial in that cabinet, you might want to secure the bottom better.
Honestly, I don't know what the thinking was of using trim staples here. Seems kind of dumb or careless.
