Are the plates bolted to the wall and the QS bolted to the plate?



Yes....
I have an old home and was concerned about using the "T" bracket alone on the brittle plaster (the QS8s really are heavier than you would expect!). The plates allowed me to "spread out" the weight a bit. In most lighting circumstances, they match the Beech finish on the Axioms pretty well.
