I see the Pro cabinets can hang but can the bold hang also or do they need the feet attached?

The Bold cabinets have the holes for wall mounting, but I'm not sure they're sturdy enough for it. I have three Bold base cabinets cantilevered (backs lag bolted to studs, rear 6" of the cabinet sitting on a stem wall, all three cabinets bolted to each other) and I'd say they are fine for my intended use of storing things like oil drain pans and aerosol cans, but they flex a tiny bit when I put my full body weight on them.
I certainly wouldn't put 600lbs of stuff in each one -- I'd probably safely rate them about the same as a wall mounted Bold top cabinet at ~100lbs each.

I am planning on hanging a set of Bold cabinets from my wall. I plan to use a 2x4 ledger to support the back of the cabinets, then I'll lag them into the studs at the top. I'll probably use some 1/8" steel straps inside the cabinets to spread out the load (rather than fender washers). I'll let you know if it fails spectacularly 
I don't plan on loading the cabinets to capacity, and I'll keep the heavy items on the bottom. If it starts to sag or warp, I'll add legs to the front. I just really don't want to have stuff on the floor unless it rolls.

After feeling how much weaker they were compared to the pros once I got them off the ground, I ended up lagging them to the wall and using the feet.
