Tips & safety

  • Always fix the dresser to the wall. Children have died from furniture tip-over. Use the wall fittings supplied — the right plugs depend on your wall.
  • Open only one drawer at a time. Put the heaviest things in the lowest drawers. Never put a TV on this dresser, and never let children climb or hang on it.
