Finding the perfect spot for the niche was not as easy as it should be. Although this in-wall unit fits well within the bay between two standard studs, the wall where I wanted it had too many studs! The blue tape indicates their locations. It's a good idea to tape up a paper mockup to view at all angles before cutting. Height matters, too. Factory recommended fastening was construction adhesive, but because I had two tight studs on either side, face nailing was the better solution here. I also removed a mid-wall blocking.See finished niche.
