Safety Notes
ALWAYS anchor into wall studs, never into drywall alone. Drywall anchors are not strong enough to stop a tipping dresser. Use a stud finder and confirm you've hit the stud by checking resistance when drilling. Anchor all dressers, bookshelves, TV stands, and any furniture over 30 inches tall. CPSC recommends anchoring all furniture that could tip. This is especially critical for IKEA and other flat-pack furniture, which tends to be lighter and tips more easily.
Buying Guide Notes
Start with the nursery dresser and any bookshelf or TV stand your child can reach. Use a stud finder (the cheap magnetic ones work fine) to locate studs. If a piece of furniture isn't near a stud, move it to a wall where it can be properly anchored. The 8-pack usually covers a nursery and living room. Buy a second pack for bedrooms and other rooms. Some furniture comes with its own anti-tip hardware. Use it, but consider these straps as a backup since the included kits are often flimsy.
Full Review
A child is sent to the emergency room every 17 minutes because of a falling piece of furniture. That stat from the CPSC is the reason these straps exist and the reason they should be in every home with young children. Dressers are the biggest risk, especially when toddlers pull out drawers and climb them like stairs. But bookshelves, TV stands, and even nightstands can tip if a child pulls on them or climbs them. The Skyla Homes straps bolt to the back of the furniture and to the wall stud. Each strap holds up to 400 pounds of force. The 8-pack is enough to anchor the most important pieces in your home. Installation takes about 10 minutes per piece of furniture with a drill and stud finder. You screw one bracket into the wall stud and one into the back of the furniture, then connect them with the adjustable strap. The straps are white and low profile, so they're barely visible behind the furniture. We anchored every piece of tall furniture in our house the weekend before our first baby started pulling up to stand. Dresser in the nursery. Bookshelf in the living room. TV console. Nightstands. It cost us an hour and we've never had to worry about it since. If you do only one thing on this list, anchor your furniture. The risk is real and the fix is cheap.
