"I happen to own that exact chest of draws, so was shocked at the title, its fairly stable without the wall mounted brackets. In addition, I have won multiple design awards featured here on Core77 for designing cabinets and have studied and invented preventative draw toppling mechanisms. First I'd like to comment on the USA Today response to: "It's the parent's fault for not anchoring the dresser to the wall." if the land lord is putting your safety at risk by preventing you from securing the necessary furniture to the wall, the land Lord is responsible for the damages. Secondly there are lots of standards and guidelines for cabinet draws, even legal requirements in some countries. For low cost draws, the depth and number of drawers is restricted, and the drawer extension limited to 2/3ds,for larger cabinets or 100% drawer extension it is required that only 1 draw be able to open at a time. still user error is the biggest cause of cabinets falling over, even with one drawer open at a time you can't stop overweight people sitting on the drawer while they work using it as a chair (real life user case with the costumer requesting a warranty replacement). At the end of the day the world is not a perfect place, its dangerous for little kids to play on a highway, bath untended if they cant sit up or cross the road, and we can add misuse a cabinet to the list. It is my view that the cabinet in question is not responsible in any way. Designers do have a responsibility to familiarize them selves with any standards or user design requirements, and in this case there is no negligence having assembled that exact cabinet."
