> 24 hourLooks like a lot of parts when it arrives, but actually extremely easy to install. The materials are all high quality and I know the dresser wont be going anywhere now.

> 24 hourExcellent customer service. One of the parts was defective so I emailed to let them know and two days later a replace piece was in my hands. Super easy to install. I did six in less than an hour.

> 24 hourA bit pricey, but very secure kit to attach furniture to wall. I recently moved a tall curio cabinet with glass shelves to a new location, and was nervous about its stability on the carpeted surface, particularly since I have a cat who loves to visit the tops of furniture. Using this kit to attach the furniture to studs in the wall gives me piece of mind that the cabinet isnt going anywhere. This kit is better than the ones with the zip strip type of anti-tip kit. one note: this kit only contains one unit. if you want to secure both ends of your piece of furniture, you will need more than one kit.

> 24 hourClever design. Anchor is easy to install and very effective. Tested it on tip prone chest and it worked as designed. Could be a life saver if you have small children. If you are looking for the best anchor, youve found it. Recommend.

> 24 hourBest anti-tip anchor, hands down. I tried several before this and they were such a pain to install and remove. These are perfect, easy to install, and excellent quality.

> 24 hourWe have 4 year-old twins. I just used these to secure two dressers in bedrooms, and to secure two sets of shelves (with very heavy objects on them) in the garage. The anchor, cotter pin and bolt seem of excellent quality. The wall screws seem ok, they are 1.5 in length, though perhaps a .5 longer would be better considering youve got the thickness of the drywall and the thickness of the anchor before the screw bites into the wall-stud. The furniture screws are much shorter, as they must be, in order not to over-penetrate the thickness of the piece of furniture. The wire seems good. It is with the wire, however, that I discovered a critical quality control issue with one of the kits. Quality Control with the Wire The wire is braided galvanized steel and certainly will not snap. The wire connects to the cotter pins basically via a metal eye-hook. The eye-hook connects to the wire by crimping. Here is the weakest point, probably, in the whole mechanism. And here is where I found a problem One of the eye-hooks somehow was never crimped onto the steel wire. I took the wire out of the pack, happened to hold it by one of the eye-hooks, and the eye-hook slipped right off! If I had managed to install this kit without discovering the flaw, it would have provided literally no protection whatsoever. Whats worse, is that I would have had a false sense of security. YOU MUST CHECK THIS Luckily this problem only occurred with one of the 8 eye-hooks we used. Also luckily, you can find the flaw through visual inspection prior to installation. Look at the sleeve of the eye-hook and ensure it is slightly deformed and not smooth and round. The deformity is the result of the eye-hooks being crimped onto the wire. If your eye-hook is NOT deformed, then it has not been crimped and therefore will not provide any protection. You can see in the pictures how the flawed eye-hook has not been crimped. I also recommend, after installation, give a gentle tug on the furniture to see that nothing pulls loose easily, and to see how far your object will tilt. I assume the crimping process, when done, does in fact achieve a strong bond between the wire and eye-hooks!
