Does anyone have any experience with adding wall cabinets to walls with metal studs? I have talked with two different local dealers and also done some web-based research. One dealer said that you can put cabinets up as long as they are "small" - i.e., no more than 12 inches deep and 30 inches tall. Another dealer said there is no problem putting deeper and taller cabinets on metal studs. The web source did not recommend putting any cabinets on metal studs without first cutting the sheetrock and installing 2x4 nailing strips in the wall, between the studs.

In walking through houses that are in the rough-in stage, I noticed that the builders for TV do have 2x4 nailers wherever they will be putting wall cabinets.

I want to add wall cabinets in our laundry room of our Lantana (both above the washer/dryer as well as in the other part of the room to create an office. However, I don't particularly like the idea of the cabinets falling down. Has anyone either done this themselves or noticed how your installer did this? Did you stick with standard sized wall cabinets?
