wall hung vanity unit and sink

    I'm doing up my bathroom and have bought a wall hung vanity unit but my plumber seems very nervous of fitting it and has tried to advise me against it. I think maybe he is just unfamiliar with them but I thought they were standard enough now.
    So basically I'm wondering two things. Have I made a mistake buying one?
    And are they really that difficult to install. The instructions look like the whole unit just hangs on two little brackets. Is this right? The edge of the sink itself is quite slim. Is this joined to the wall with some kind of glue/sealant too?

    Thanks in advance for any info

    No real problem in fitting them assuming there isn't a problem with the Wall. Is it a solid Wall or Studded. Maybe your Plumber sees a problem with the location in relation to Drains and doesn't fancy the extra work involved.
    You need to ask him why he doesn't fancy it or get another Plumber.

    Thanks for the reply.
    The wall is solid as far as I know.
    I do think I should have gotten another plumber but too late now.
    I think maybe he is a bit old fashioned and afraid of change.
    Hopefully I'm fretting over nothing and all will be well.
