Professional furniture anchor fitting - tall furniture secured to walls to prevent tip-overs. Children climb. Furniture anchors stop climbing from becoming catastrophe.
### Children Climb. Furniture Falls.
Toddlers are climbers. **A dresser, bookcase, or chest of drawers becomes a climbing frame.** Without anchoring, that climbing frame can topple forward and crush them.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** IKEA includes furniture anchors with their flat-pack items for a reason. This isn't overcautious - it's genuinely life-saving.

Frequently Asked Questions about Furniture anchor fitting in Ottery St Mary
What furniture needs anchoring?
Anything tall that could tip - bookcases, wardrobes, chests of drawers, TV units, and freestanding shelving. If a climbing child's weight could topple it, anchor it.
How do furniture anchors work?
Straps or brackets connect the furniture to the wall. If the furniture starts to tip, the anchor stops it falling. Simple but potentially life-saving.
Will anchoring damage walls or furniture?
Small screw holes in both, but easily filled later. The alternative - furniture crushing a child - doesn't bear thinking about.
Can all wall types be anchored to?
Solid walls yes. Stud walls need fixing into the studs, not just plasterboard. We use appropriate fixings for your wall type.
