just like you should do for children, tether heavy furniture to the wall. it does leave a small hole where the screw goes it, but easily fixed.

:o I didn't know about children and tethering the furniture; no one has ever mentioned that to me. Maybe they just thought I knew. Didn't. Don't have any (children).

I've seen heavy metal braces used for securing objects to walls, only... those things will surely take out a good portion of dryway if the furniture/braces are removed.

Are the tethers plastic? I assure, I really ain't lame. I just haven't heard of this before.

hi bobbi,

the tether is made out of the same type of material like a seat belt. it's attached to the wall and the "object".

i'll see if i can find a picture. lol..i have some extra's i can take a picture of. they really are great. even for adults. my dad tipped a tall dresser over on himself when he lost balance. i wish we had thought it before that happened. :(

they come pretty much standard now in things like book shelf kits.

here is good link:
