Professional furniture anchor strap fitting - simple straps that prevent furniture tip-over. Essential child safety for any home with tall furniture and curious climbers.
### Children Climb Everything
Bookcase shelves become ladders. Open drawers become steps. **Furniture tips forward and children get crushed.** Anchor straps prevent the tip that kills.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Do ALL tall furniture in one visit - bookcases, dressers, wardrobes, TV stands. Comprehensive is better than piecemeal.

Frequently Asked Questions about Furniture anchor straps in Ottery St Mary
What are furniture anchor straps?
Strong straps that connect furniture to the wall, preventing tip-over. One end screws to the furniture, other end screws to a wall stud. Simple but effective.
What furniture needs anchoring?
Anything tall that could tip: bookcases, chest of drawers, wardrobes, TV stands, tall storage units. If a child could pull it over, anchor it.
How many straps per item?
Usually two straps per furniture piece - one each side near the top. Very tall or heavy items may need more.
Will it damage my walls and furniture?
Small screw holes that can be filled if you move things. The alternative - furniture crushing a child - is unthinkable. Tiny holes are nothing.
