Ready America Quake Hold Adjustable Big Screen & Appliance Strap, 6 L, 500 lb, Nylon

I dont live in an earthquake zone. I bought these to safety-proof my home as Im expecting a child soon. I was skeptical about how well velcro would hold furniture from tipping, but this is heavy duty velcro (had to ask my husband to pull it apart when I took it out of the packaging - it is that strong). Highly recommend this if youre concerned about having to drill holes into your furniture, but still need to secure them to the wall.

Have used these on multiple objects for safety for our kids, especially our 2 yr old who is a climber. These are a must-have on dressers, bookshelves, etc for safety with littles. Highly recommend as once they are installed, furniture doesnt move and is sturdy in place. We even had to rearrange a dresser in my sons room, and straps left no damage on the dresser when we needed to remove. We love these straps!

Takes a little time to install otherwise product does what it says.

This is great- just what was needed

We got some of these at Lowe’s a while back for a hutch. Loved them enough that when I went back for more and they didn’t carry them any longer, I searched them out on Amazon. Good price, sturdy, easy to install. I like the Velcro bits- makes it easy to move if needed. (My kids are older so I don’t worry about them pulling the Velcro off on shorter pieces of furniture.)

Works perfect. We bought it to attach an IKEA wardrobe to the wall. There was no way to use screws or nails in the wardrobe, it would have just fallen apart, so this was the perfect solution. Extremely sturdy. Will definitely hold up to an earthquake, or children trying to topple furniture over onto themselves.

Ive tried a couple different products for anchoring furniture to the walls to protect my little munchkin from hurting herself, but these seem to work the best. Theyre a little more expensive than other options, but theyre easy to install because only one end needs to be screwed into the wall. The other side attaches to the furniture via velcro. The velcro strip is stuck to the furniture wherever you want and the strap is secured via the velcro. It is a sturdy hold as the velcro is quite strong and virtually impossible to pull apart when pulled in parallel opposite directions, yet if you want to move the furniture, you can pull the velcro off by pulling it up (or perpendicular) from the velcro.

Growing up in CA, we had to worry about earthquakes. When we moved to Idaho, my husband thought I was crazy for wanting these; but I won the arguement :-). Anyhoo, we had these on all tall furniture in the house and the kids dressers, but didnt have one on the dresser in our room. My son, at age 6, was playing in our room and opened all the drawers and it came crashing down. In slow motion, I saw it coming down, but couldnt stop it! In a moment, I thought he was seriously injured or worse, thought about the call to 911, etc. As I quickly ran to pick it up, worried about what I would see, I see my son huddled in the 12 inches between the down dresser and the footboard of our bedframe; completely unscathed! This is one of those times I will always think about how close I was to loosing my son. PUT THESE ON ALL DRESSERS and TALL FURNITURE. They are worth the cost!!!

This item, unlike many childproofing kits, requires only 2 screws in the wall and adhesive on the furniture item in 2 places. This is much less damaging to walls than some kits that have 3 screws for each of several straps, for example. While I dont live in an earthquake prone area, I feel my toddler is safe with my large bookshelves secured with these straps. I cant even see the adhesive because it is at the top of a tall bookshelf and the strap is brown, like the furniture.

Do not waste your money! Go to the hardware store and buy L brackets. I installed these using install plan 1. THere are two options. Perhaps the second option would work. The install plan one involved securing to the wall with a long sccrew and using he velcor/ adhesive straps to adhere to the bookcases. I liked the idea of not drilling into my bookcases. Besides, the screws provided for installation method 2 were too long for my Ikea Billy Bookcases and would have gone all the way through. I installed the straps on Sunday afternoon, and my floors are uneven so they were installed so all the bookcases would remain flush. I came home from work Monday and one was leaning away from the wall about two inches, by Tuesday they were all leaning quite severely. The adhesive did not hold the straps were moving and re-adhering or slipping. Wednesday night I stopped at home depot and got 1.5 L brackets and short screws. I installed them, no worries, and I can secure 5 bookcases for the price of one of these. I used the long screw from this set, so it wasnt a total waste, but that is an expensive screw. They have these in Home Depot so if you are curious go open a package up. Then buy the L bracket that meets your needs. They should be on the same isle with the screws you will also need.
