Furniture should not only look good and last long, but also be safe - especially for pets and kids.
Some dresser designs can look amazing, but they should always be anchored, or they can damage or even kill your child or your pet by tipping over.
Here are a few reasons why it happens.
Top-Heavy Design
Some dressers have most of their weight at the top because of the drawers and the things inside them.
This makes them unsteady and more likely to tip over if a child climbs on them or pulls out the drawers.
Not Properly Anchored
Dressers need to be anchored or secured to the wall to prevent tipping.
If they're not anchored, they can easily tip over if a child tries to climb or pull on them.
Curious Kids
Young children are naturally curious and like to explore.
They might see a dresser as a fun climbing challenge, and if it's not stable or anchored, it can lead to accidents.
Injuries
If a dresser falls on a child, it can cause injuries like bruises, cuts, broken bones, or even be life-threatening if it lands on the child's head.
Conclusion
Your kids' safety depends on you - so choose your dresser designs wisely and always anchor your furniture/
