Hi all, I've got 1 and a half year erstwhile who is very active (running, crawling, climbing on everything) and my wife wants to find a manner to secure furniture like his dresser as well as bookshelves, etc. I'd similar to ideally discover a manner to practise this without drilling holes in the walls (as my wife also likes re-arranging) and so that I don't finish upward with holey walls in a year or two! Any suggestions?

I helped a friend secure tall furniture in an earthquake zone. Even though it was a rental we found no good method other than tying to the wall which requires holes.

I become not wanting to fill in holes in the future.

Just to be honest, there's really no good way that's not going to involve holes in walls. (Straps, 50 brackets, etc.. -- all end up with holes)..

And if something were to fall and hurt your kid, or fifty-fifty miss your child but break a agglomeration of stuff.... you'd probably much prefer to be filling in holes 2 years from now, rather than replacing cleaved stuff or god forbid taking your kid to the hospital.

Spackling holes isn't that bad. The alternatives are.

Note: Nosotros don't have kids. We do accept cats. Cats that jump on and off alpine / wobbly piece of furniture all the fourth dimension. I also rearrange things (not for fun, but because I decide a more than efficient use of space) every few years... We ballast tall / superlative heavy things to the wall. We too continue a container of quick dry pre-mixed spackle. And we have paint buddies to continue pigment handy for touch-ups

Yea, I realize this. Just didn't know if anyone had found a good manner effectually drilling holes, only doesn't seem like that's the case. We don't accept a ton of heavy stuff thankfully just afterwards drilling holes for our baby gate (which was somewhat of a fiasco), I wanted to run across if there were other solutions, or possibly but a "better solution".

Platonic, but manifestly (given the rash of "furniture falling on child" disasters that have gotten publicity) - that strategy no longer is effective.

See Ikea lawsuit where they are now basically pleading with customers to anchor the furniture to the wall.

Children have been killed by falling article of furniture, especially children's' dressers and bookshelves. I would highly suggest securing them to the wall with the brackets that were included with the furniture. There is no other solution.

Well, yep, that's the long term solution. I guess you're kids listened the outset time and never disobeyed the rule. Unfortunately with my little guy it takes more than telling him one time for him to learn.

No piece of furniture piece we've ever bought came with brackets to secure it... that must be somewhat new.
