Tips & safety

  • Always fix STÄLL to the wall. Furniture tip-over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Use the 2 screws through the back rail (steps 22–23).
  • Choose fixings that suit your wall. Plugs 121714: solid and hollow walls (8 mm drill). Solid wood: screws only (3 mm drill). Unsure? Ask a specialist.
