Professional chest of drawers anchoring - secure wall fixing to prevent tip-over. Essential child safety for any home with climbers, crawlers, or curious toddlers.
### Drawers Are Climbing Frames To Toddlers
Open drawer, step up, reach for something on top. **Classic toddler move - and it tips furniture forward.** Wall anchoring stops the tip-over that follows.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Anchor ALL chests of drawers, not just in children's rooms. Toddlers explore everywhere, and tip-overs happen throughout the house.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chest of drawers anchoring in Ottery St Mary
Why do chest of drawers tip over?
Children climb open drawers like ladders, or pull on them to stand up. Multiple drawers open at once shifts the centre of gravity forward. It happens fast and without warning.
Do I need this if my drawers are heavy?
Heavy drawers are actually MORE dangerous when they tip. Weight doesn't prevent tip-over - children's climbing does it. And heavy furniture falling is worse than light furniture falling.
Will the anchor damage my wall?
Small screw holes that can be filled if you move. The alternative - a child crushed under furniture - is unthinkable.
Can you anchor all our bedroom furniture at once?
Yes - and you should. Chest of drawers, wardrobe, bookcase - do them all in one visit. More efficient and comprehensive.
