I added wall cabinets over our washer/dryer years ago. I attached them directly to the metal studs and have had no problems. Of course they do not carry the weight some cabinets carry. Bottom shelves hold various spray bottles and other shelves devoted to paper products.If I were adding cabinets to hold canned goods or dishes I would probably do it differently.
