Man this seems like it’s getting overly complicated.
That's just because, for us out here commenting, there are a lot of IFs.
Once you get there and find out if the back panel is 3/4" mahogany or wood-grained cheesecloth, entire posts get thrown out in favor of what's really there.
That's what happens when you can't hone the question with all the relevant details.
Update. The cabinet/shelving does not go completely to the ceiling but the drywall was sloped downward from the back wall to meet the front of the cabinet. So that makes finding wall stud above cabinet a no go. However the electrician is making cutouts to move gangboxes. I’ll be able to peak in and find the studs and see what I am working with. My plan is to hope for no surprises and that studs are right there and cabinet is flush to wall. Lag mount to studs, hang tv and call it a day.
Probably won't be THAT simple, though.
"Drywall sloped downward." Loved that bit. Maybe... it's sloped forward?
