Secure Furniture to the Wall
Securing a bookshelf to a wall is crucial to prevent it from falling on a child, which can cause serious injury or even death. Here are some important safety warnings to keep in mind:
- Never place heavy items on the top shelf of the bookshelf, as this can cause it to become top-heavy and increase the risk of tipping.
- Keep the bookshelf away from areas where children may climb on it or use it as a toy.
- Regularly inspect the bookshelf and its anchoring hardware to ensure that it remains secure.
- Teach children not to climb or hang on the bookshelf.
- If you have multiple bookshelves or other furniture in the room, make sure they are all secured to the wall.
- Educate children: Teach children not to climb on or play with furniture, and keep heavy items on lower shelves to minimize the risk of furniture tipping over.
How to secure your furniture to the wall:
- Locate the studs in the wall where you want to mount the bookshelf. Use a stud finder to do this.
- Mark the location of the studs with a pencil.
- Position the bookshelf against the wall where you want it to be mounted.
- Use a level to make sure the bookshelf is straight.
- Place a mark on the back of the bookshelf where the studs are located.
- Remove the bookshelf from the wall.
- Pre-drill holes in the back of the bookshelf where you made the marks.
- Place the bookshelf back against the wall and align the pre-drilled holes with the studs.
- Use screws to secure the bookshelf to the wall through the pre-drilled holes.
- Use a level to make sure the bookshelf is still straight.
- Test the bookshelf by pushing and pulling on it to ensure it is securely mounted to the wall.
- Periodically check the bookshelf to make sure it is still securely mounted and adjust the screws if necessary.
- It is your responsibility to ensure your furniture is securely attached to the wall and we expect that you will seek professional advice if required
By following these safety warnings, you can help prevent accidents and keep your child safe.
Let customers speak for us
from 4097 reviewsI purchased this chair for my daughter who has low muscle tone and finds it really difficult and exhausting to sit on any normal chair where she is not supported or has 90degree angles. This chair is perfect for her, her feet don’t dangle, she sits still especially at the end of the day. The price was fantastic compared to some other popular companies and it came so quickly. So east to put together as well! I definitely recommended this brand to our occupational therapist and speech pathologist!
Great quality, very speedy service.
We we’re gifted one for our daughter and bought one for our son when he started scooting! They both love them. They also get lots of comments out and about! Would highly recommend
The delivery was so fast & my grandson is having such a wonderful time with his learning tower. Thankyou so much 🙏♥️🙏♥️🙏♥️
Such a wonderfully designed product. My 3yo can climb in and out of the chair safely and independently. Has a much smaller footprint than a highchair and so easy to clean! No secret hiding spots for food to collect. Most importantly of all the 3yo loves it!
Bought for daughter/granddaughter they’re thrilled with it, would recommend
I love this happy kitchen folding tower. My grandson can cook and learn in a safe space right beside me at the kitchen bench. fast delivery was and added bonus
The product is amazing, since day 1 my 16 months old son uses every day. It made my life a lot easier in the kitchen as he wasn’t letting me do anything without holding him. I purchased wooden fruit and veggie box as well and he plays with them in his tower while I’m cooking. I bought second Toova model and I’m so glad I did. It’s amazing to be able to use it as a little table. The product is second but no damage whatsoever. Customer service was great too! I highly recommend it to everybody.
I was so happy to receive this in time for my son’s second birthday. I contacted happy helpers to let them know I needed it within the week to Perth and in no time it was packed and with the courier out for delivery. Thanks for all your assistance, much appreciated!! My son loves it
Love them! The quality and size is perfect. They're exactly as I hoped they'd be.
Beautiful quality and our baby boy loves climbing it, he has also easy mastered going over the top and gets more confident each day. Great quality for the price, we love it!
BEST BUY EVER! My daughter who is now 19 months loves her learning tower and has been using it EVERYDAY! She acts like a little master chef in the kitchen. Being able to "Help" mum in the kitchen has helped to build her confident a lot and she's now literally "myhappyhelper".
The chairs are so well made, so comfortable. I love that they have sides so are more secure and also are narrow, so they don't take up so much space. They are light but very sturdy and the seat cushion is soft and easy to clean. The kids love them. Very responsive and accommodating service also. Perfect!
