I'd like to hang a bookshelf over my Dinette. It'll hold about 50-75lbs of dead weight.

I suspect the interior construction ribs are strong but have not seen the construction details. I suspect the rib covers shown in the photo below lie over the structural ribs; is this true?

Can I simply drill & tap (say 1/4-20) in the center of the ribs indicated & expect sufficient weight bearing capacity?

If not, how might heavy things like bookshelves be supported?
