@mazon is why Im broke!
> 3 dayI bought these to anchor a tall shelf to the wall (see pictures) so it doesnt crush my mini me, and/or my 4-legged buffalo (aka massive puppy we have). It does what its supposed to do, however i had to use different long screws. i STRONGLY encourage people purchasing this item to make sure the screws that were provided in the kit, actually screw into the provided anchors properly. After drilling a hole and putting anchors into the wall, i screwed the long screws into the anchors. After pulling on it pretty lightly with one hand after i installed, the screws slipped right out of the anchors!! Ultimately completely FAILING at what its supposed to do! Plastic anchor didnt budge, only the long screw. I was shocked. Reason for this is that provided long screws that are supposed to go into the anchor, dont have deep enough treads for it to screw into the anchor. The screws barely hang in the anchor so when a little pressure was applied (simulating a falling piece of furniture) the anchor stayed in the wall but the screw came right out of the anchor. I dont think the anchor malfunctioned, since the anchor didnt budge in the wall. This is a HUGE issue considering the furniture isnt actually secured to the wall. Gives people a false sense of security! Solution: black drywall screws, which have way bigger treads (see pictures included within this review), and those actually screwed into the anchor plastic securing everything nicely. I have only installed 1 set (out of the 10 pack i got) and this happened. Not sure if it was a defective screw or anchor, both seemed normal, same as all the rest in the kit from what i observe, I think the screws just dont have enough tread for it to screw into the anchor properly. Aside from this (major) mishap, i think the kit is a great value for the price you pay. And now its secured like its supposed to be. But please give it a test tug after installing to make sure its properly secured! Dont baby tug it, actually give it a hard pull! Each anchor is supposed to support 200 pounds (according to the packaging!!) Giving 2 stars only because i think this is a very alarming issue. Maybe the company making these can make sure the screws provided are adequate and/or that quality control is done more thoroughly considering it could have a tragic result. I noticed in the instructions it shows black screws (i received silver) but that may just be because i got the white colored set instead of the black. Please see the pictures i attached to this review to see the difference!

> 3 dayThen work great for large wardrobes we bought at ikea. But I did have to modify the furniture a little for these to work. No fault of the manufacturer. I really just needed these to prevent the furniture from falling on the first initial jolt for an earthquake. I feel like these will do the job no problems.

> 3 dayPurchased for a dresser in my 3 year olds room. These anchors work as intended and have already prevented multiple situation that inevitably would have ended with a dresser falling over. Good product with sturdy brackets and strong wire. Straightforward and quick installation! No need to pre-drill bracket onto furniture if it is made of soft wood or composite.

> 3 dayNot sure if I got a defective package but when I tug firmly on the metal wire when it is screwed together it just comes undone. I have not noticed until now but certainly not safe.

> 3 dayWorked great. Much better than the plastic straps that came with the product.

> 3 dayFive stars for the quality, definitely would recommend! This changing table isnt going ANYWHERE. Installation was a challenge for this sorta-handy mom, mostly because I had to install the brackets horizontally for a changing table with very little real wood on the back. The bracket holes are too far apart to make horizontal installation on a stud possible, so I had to use two drill bits (drywall anchor, screw in stud). Also, fastening the cable is difficult if you want there to be no play...I didnt want even a little wiggle. I thought I could fly through multiple pieces of furniture in one afternoon, but I needed a 24-hour break LOL The next piece of furniture was much easier because I knew what to expect and I could take liberties with confidence. I do wish the holes in the brackets were closer together for horizontal stud mounting, but I can live with one-in-the-stud. I feel like most tipable furniture these days has narrow real wood components and horizontal is what most would do...then again, I may be overdoing it by insisting on anchoring to a stud. I just dont trust my drywall to support a dresser plus plus superhuman toddler strength.
