Safety 1stFurniture Wall Straps 4 Pack

Recently, I purchased a tall dresser for my daughter. She is five, and we have had many discussions about climbing. I am not expecting her to try, but kids are sometimes impulsive little critters who forget the lessons they've been taught and fail to fully consider the consequences of their actions. Heck, some adults are like that.According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, one child dies every two weeks from falling furniture with the largest percentage being my daughter's age (3-5 years). Almost half of those deaths occur from furniture in the child's bedroom. Many of these deaths are preventable by anchoring furniture. During my daughter's mother's pregnancy "nesting phase" she anchored a bookshelf using framing wire and hooks. That thing is not going anywhere, but for the dresser I wanted to try a product specifically made to prevent falling. After looking at local stores with no luck then looking online, I decided on the Safety 1st Furniture Wall Straps.Installation of these is a breeze. You need a drill and to find the studs, but it is simple. I was a bit worried because the dresser was an affordable fiberboard model. I was concerned with finding a solid enough spot on the back of it, but that ended up being pretty easy. You install one end on the wall and on the furniture. You can do this separately as you will use a middle piece to connect the two straps. I suppose you could use a level and whatnot, but I did not. It is pretty forgiving. Once you hook the straps together, you can tighten them by pulling on the end of the strap. I did so while holding the dresser close to the wall. There is very little slack. You do not have to tug on the straps with all of your weight or anything. The wall side is slightly angled to help it hold even tighter without simply sliding out of the wall.I then tested the straps by trying to tip the dresser. Could I potentially have pulled the thing out of the wall? Probably. I am doubtful that the fiberboard would have held all of my weight. Would my daughter be able to pull the thing off the wall? It is highly unlikely. I feel very safe with it in her room. We still regularly talk about not climbing, but this gives me peace of mind.Overall, these things are strong, easy to install, and affordable. I purchased two packs just to have on hand if I get any other furniture. I am very happy with my purchase.

I have purchased a ton of these over the past few years (both on Amazon and in big box stores) for keeping large and/or heavy furniture secure. They do a wonderful job at preventing furniture from falling or tipping over, in turn keeping my child safe!There are two main features that I personally really like about these particular straps. One, is that they are fully adjustable, so you can make the strap as long or short away from the wall as you need. Having the option to adjust the length helps make sure that I can keep the straps snug to the wall, but also being able to make them longer allows me to get back behind a piece of furniture to grab something that may have fell behind it or to even access an outlet. The adjustments can be made in snap and can be changed at any time without unscrewing it from the wall.The second great feature is the middle buckle that allows me to completely detach the two ends just in case I need to completely move the furniture out of the way on a temporarily basis. For example, when we put in new flooring in certain areas of our home, this was a wonderful feature to have, because I didn't have to unscrew the entire thing out of the wall. I simply unbuckled it in the middle and moved the furniture away (one end stays in the wall and the other end stays in the piece of furniture) and then easily connected it back once the flooring installation was complete.With this particular listing I received two packs of two straps, a total of four altogether. The straps are made of some strong type of nylon that you can pull and pull on, but it won't comprise the integrity or strength. They're pretty durable! These straps are a must if you have babies or young children in the home. I definitely recommend them!

We purchased these furniture wall straps when our twin toddlers needed to switch from cribs to toddler beds so of course they would have more access to their room and, being the monkeys that they are, we needed to make sure they couldn't pull the furniture down and injure themselves. These have worked so well for us! We have had them on our kids' dresser and bookshelf for almost four months and haven't had a problem. They are easy to install because you screw one part of the strap into the wall and the other to the piece of furniture and you're done! We have always had great luck with the Safety 1st products and feel that our house is safer because of them. If you have young children and need to make sure any large furniture won't hurt them, I would highly recommend these wall straps!

I couldn't sleep knowing we had just switched my toddlers bed into a big boy bed and that he could be seriously injured by waking up in the middle of the night and climbing on furniture. Many people don't realize but it only takes them opening one drawer and trying to climb into or onto it and the entire dresser can fall on them and crush them. There are actually many fatal tragities I've heard of so I sleep so much better now that we have something to hold our sons dresser in place.It only took me about 4 mins to install it the longest part was locating a good stud behind where the dresser normally sits and once tat was done install was easy with an electric screwdriver.

These are solid straps that I've used to connect several things tot he wall to keep our daughter safe. With good quality screw mounts these are very solid.
