I have a cabinet that was installed with 4 screws, and I'm concerned if that's sufficient for holding all my dishes. I know it went into studs since finding them was a challenge, but just to be safe, should I add more screws? The cabinet feels solid when I jiggle it. Here's a link to a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/gallery/syL9WF8

In general, 4 screws should be adequate as long as they’re anchored into solid studs. How many you actually need can vary depending on cabinet design and stud availability. If you have extra studs available, adding a couple more screws wouldn’t hurt. Honestly, I've hung by a cabinet screw before and it held up just fine!
Four screws are definitely enough. I install cabinets for a living, and I use 4 screws in all of mine without any issues, even when they're holding heavy mixing bowls. You’re good to go!
Thanks, that makes me feel better!
