Have fun with your new straps
I've a second floor apartment, so sadly that isn't an option. Thankfully they have no problem with my installing wall stud anchors. They aren't that inexpensive, but each anchor is rated for 300 lbs - so considering I weigh 124 I think they will work I am having a handyman friend of mine install them so I don't wind up messing up the wall.
