To secure furniture to a wall:
- Use a stud finder to locate studs in the wall behind the furniture.
- Mark the stud locations and choose points for attaching furniture straps or brackets.
- Attach one end of the strap or bracket to the wall stud using screws.
- Attach the other end securely to a solid wood part of the furniture.
- Use at least two straps/brackets for larger furniture for better stability.
- Tighten the straps so there is no slack to prevent tipping.
- Regularly check the straps to ensure they remain tight and secure.
This process helps prevent tipping and increases safety, especially for heavy pieces or if children are around. Using proper hardware and securing directly into wall studs is essential for effectiveness.
