Tips & safety

  • Always fix the dresser to the wall. Children have died from furniture tip-over. Use the anti-tip fitting supplied. Never put a TV on this product.
  • Open only one drawer at a time. Put the heaviest items in the lowest drawers. Don’t defeat or remove the drawer interlock — it is a safety system.
