Not so sure about that. Would it not crumble easier than the brick.

The wood up top is just thin decorative ply, not sure what's under it. I'm sure there are stringers but I've got a couple of spare wall mounts so don't want to have to buy another.

If your weight is only 20 lbs just use 4 lag shields into the brick, throw in 6 if you are worried. It doesn't look like the red brick your mounting on is hollow, usually red brick is solid.
20lbs is not that heavy. You'll be ok.
The bricks are hollow, see first pic.

Thanks all.
