Hi all, I have a cabinet that attaches to the ceiling over my sofa pulling loose from one corner. I haven't done a huge amt. of investigation yet but no bolts are visible. Does anyone know how these are usually attached?

I had the same problem.  The cabinets are just screwed into the ceiling with wood screws, Marsha.  You can brace the corner of the cabinet up against the ceiling with something and add a couple more.  It's a bit tight in there though without removing the end panel.  You can add a 1" x 1" strip of wood on the outside and alternate a screw into the side of the cabinet and then into the roof.  I put a spindle between the top of the back of my dinette seat up to the corner as well for support. - Sob
