Frequently Asked Questions about Chest of drawers anchoring in Newton Abbot
Why are chests of drawers dangerous?
Open drawers act as steps. Children climb them, weight shifts forward, unit tips. A chest of drawers is heavy enough to kill when it falls on a child.
Even if it seems stable?
Yes - the weight distribution changes when drawers are open. An adult wouldn't notice the difference, but a child climbing creates enough leverage to tip it.
Where should I anchor it?
High on the back, into wall studs or solid masonry. The anchor needs to stop the unit before it tips past its balance point.
What about built-in units?
Built-in furniture secured to walls is inherently safer. Freestanding units are the danger.
