Does furniture of well-known furniture-company also require anchoring?
Any well-known furniture is expected to live up to safety standards, but regardless of quality or how
well-known a company is, the force of gravity applies to everything on earth. All furniture can tip-
over when the center of gravity shifts to outside of the furniture.
Does low chest of drawers also require anchoring?
Low furniture can tip-over too. When several drawers are open at the same time – especially when
its heavily filled – the center of gravity shifts outside of the base of chest of drawers and tips over.
The same effect is achieved when a child climb on it. Therefore, also low furniture needs to be
secured to a wall.
The tip-over accident risk seems very small, do I still have to care?
Furniture tip-over accidents are more common than they might seem. Most people don’t know
about the danger of furniture tip-over, because such accidents are hardly reported on the news.
However, furniture tip-overs accounts more injuries and even deaths than expected. There is no
reason to risk family’s safety when such accidents can easily be prevented by anchoring furniture,
appliances and televisions to walls.
