This does not look sturdy enough to support a goons weight.

Greatest Living Man posted:L brackets? Never heard of them. Every tall piece of Ikea furniture I've ever bought comes with brackets to secure it to the wall. Maybe that's a legal requirement here and not elsewhere.

My Q-Face posted:Making a piece of furniture with a heavier bottom and low center of gravity is a tall order, you can't expect cheap furniture companies to pay somebody to actually think about the design process! That's not how a cabinet maker would do it. How many triangular chests of drawers do you own? Brackets and other fixing mechanisms are available from ikea and third parties for that subset of people with young children for whom this would actually be a problem, which is actually a much more sensible solution than designing every piece of furniture you sell around the precise requirements of an unsupervised 3 year old.

Anything IKEA makes that can tip over on your dumb kid has an anti-tipping device included anyway. Its usually a piece of webbing or a metal bracket you screw into the top of the unit and into a joist in your wall. IKEA didn't kill that kids, his lazy parents who didn't follow the instructions did. See, perfectly clear and understandable. Sauer fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Apr 22, 2016 |

its actually a fun date to take a girl who's down for droll poo poo to IKEA to just walk around and snack on meatballs and look at furniture and stuff. the best part is you don't ever buy any of it and don't kill the kid you may or may not have. (if you're at a point where this ikea date thing is viable yr probably pretty steady)

IKEA website:quote:WARNING - Serious or fatal crashing injuries can occur from furniture tip-over. To prevent this furniture must be permanently fixed to the wall. Secure it! Learn how to prevent furniture tip-over accidents. quote:Every two weeks a child dies in the U.S. from furniture, appliances or TVs tipping over, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. By working together, we can help prevent these tragedies and make the home a safer place. quote:IKEA offers free wall-anchoring kit for chests and dressers Kid death sucks but it's 99% their parents fault and 1% lovely swedish balsa wood furniture.

I prefer my version of Ikea, finding old disassembled furniture on the side of the road and piecing it together at home without a guide or tools

notZaar posted:Use a bracket or something to secure it to the wall. Even the cheapo compressed particle board furniture I got from Walmart came with a strap to screw to the wall. or, or, dont transform into a baby and tip it onto yourself there's nothing inherently dangerous about these dressers lol, its a retangle with a retangle shaped base. there's no design flaw in stability here other than the fact its a dresser so its tall and you can tip tall things onto yourself especially if you fill it up with heavy poo poo on top. this could literally happen with any similar sized dresser from any manufacturer anywhere

OlmanRiver posted:How are you supposed to anchor it to a wall with base boards? IDK about IKEA, but bookshelves and such from other manufacturers often come with short straps instead of brackets for just this reason. (and also because nylon straps are probably cheaper than metal brackets)

Indy posted:Only americans will start a lawsuit over something easily prevented by not ignoring the instructions and the included safety features. There was a guy who reloaded ammunition for a gun that said, in the instruction manual, not to fire reloaded cartridges out of it, because the factory cartridges are already under high pressure and reloading them will likely result in an overload that will blow up the gun. Predictably, the gun blew off most of his hand and he sued the manufacturer of the gun. He won the lawsuit and they gave him a replacement from their new batch that now has "DO NOT FIRE RELOADED AMMO" on the side.
