Difficult to mount on wall

Wall mount shelf. It consists of five interlocking rectangular boxes that all fit together beautifully. The problem hangs on the wall. There are ten mounting holes, two on each box, and you need to drive ten screws into the wall to match the ten holes. The instructions say to measure the distances between all the holes and trace them onto the wall. This is almost impossible as just one screw that is off by even a few millimeters will result in that screw not matching its hole. The manufacturer had to make a paper template with the locations of all the screws printed on it, which could be taped to the wall, and then holes were drilled at each mark. This would increase the likelihood that all 10 screws would line up with the corresponding holes on the back of the shelf drawers. Instead we took two corner brackets and mounted them 16" apart on the assembled unit and then screwed them into the studs for a secure fit. If you're driving 10 screws into a wall, measure the distances between the holes in millimeters so you have at least whole numbers. If you try that with what the Americans call "inches" and "parts," you get really confused.
