How to anchor furniture to the wall (and when you must)

The short version: anchor any unit 120 cm or taller, anything in a child's room, and any wall-mounted shelf, to a wall stud with anti-tip hardware. For shorter freestanding units it is recommended, not required. Here is how to know, and how to do it.

When anchoring is required vs recommended

Situation	Anchoring
Unit 120 cm or taller	Required
In a child's room (any height)	Required
Wall-mounted or floating shelf	Required (it is the only thing holding it)
Shorter freestanding unit (under 120 cm)	Recommended

Tall furniture tips over when weight shifts, a drawer is pulled, or a child climbs. Anchoring removes that risk. It is the single most important safety step in any build.

How to anchor to the wall, step by step

Find a stud. Use a stud finder; studs are usually 40–60 cm apart. Fixing into a stud is far stronger than into plasterboard alone.
If you cannot reach a stud, use heavy-duty wall anchors rated for the furniture's weight, not standard screws.
Fix the bracket to the top of the unit and to the wall, so it cannot tip forward.
Check it holds: with the unit empty, give it a firm pull at the top. It should not move.

What hardware you need

An anti-tip bracket or strap, plus screws.
Screws or wall anchors rated for your wall type (stud, plasterboard, masonry).

Kamba includes the right anti-tip hardware and the exact fixing points in every plan that needs them.

How Kamba handles this

Kamba checks every design for tip-over risk. When a unit is 120 cm or taller, or marked for a child's room, the plan requires wall-anchoring and includes the anti-tip hardware and fixing points. For shorter units it recommends anchoring and still provides the hardware. You do not have to work out the safety yourself: it is built into the plan.
