01-12-2024I have two toddlers. This was the only anti-tip kit that I trusted because it is not made out of plastic! Has held up well to two toddlers climbing on the cubby that I used it for!

> 3 dayI like that it is all metal, I would worry about plastic becoming brittle and weak over time. Easy install and allows for a little adjustment in furniture placement.

> 3 dayI bought one of these anti-tip kits to secure a tall bookcase to the wall. I like the fact that you only need one cable to secure up to 400lbs of furniture, and that the flexibility in the cable means you dont have to be as precise in your installation as with, say, an angle bracket. It also allows you to move the furniture a tiny amount without disconnecting the cable. You can also position the wall bracket below the top of furniture to help hide it from view, and you can easily disconnect the cable if you need to move the furniture to a new location. Three caveats: First, as one reviewer points out, the cable is only about 4 inches long; the picture is deceiving. So your furniture needs to be close to the wall. I think the reason for this is to limit how far the furniture can tip before the cable catches it. Second, the bracket that attaches to the furniture needs to attach to either solid wood or thick particle board; Id suggest at least 1 thick minimum. And if attaching to particle board, you have to attach to the wide, flat side, not the narrower edge of the board. The instructions are very specific about that. Third, the wall bracket needs to mount directly to a stud. You could use strong toggle bolts as one reviewer mentions, but that will limit your protection to the strength of the toggle bolts. Please dont use hollow wall anchors - they arent strong enough.

Greater than one weekSuper strong and easy to install! Weve been meaning to buy anchors, but after seeing the video of the dresser falling on the two brothers, we knew we had to stop putting it off. Lots of choices on Amazon, straps, hooks, this type. I ordered one of these as a trial run and just installed it, I am freaking thrilled. I have it in the back of a bookshelf going into a stud in the wall. I pulled the bookshelf myself, it held it just fine, then, I added my weight and leaned back and it still held fine. Im ordering a few more of these right now (I dont think its necessary to drill out a hole and install it on the inside of dressers - except maybe for optics).
