In the news this morning IKEA reissues safety warning after another toddler is killed by falling dresser http://www.today.com/home/ikea-reissues-safety-warning-after-another-toddler-killed-falling-dresser-t87416%5C ur #1 spot for IKEA news posted:A 22-month-old Minnesota boy, Ted McGee, died in February when he tipped one of IKEA's popular Malm dressers on top of him in his room... Since IKEA furniture is already named using a made up ooga booga language, I thought this would be a great opportunity to do some rebranding of some of the more popular pieces, such as.  becomes  or  becomes  IKEA uses bold verdana font if you care.

Of course the Tillfalle will fall over. It says "occasional table" and "fall" is right in the drat name!

This s like the HD tv fad a few years back in chicago where kids would get crushed to death by HD Tvs that were too big for the tables they were on.

Use a bracket or something to secure it to the wall. Even the cheapo compressed particle board furniture I got from Walmart came with a strap to screw to the wall.

For the record, I have this dresser, and it comes with built in L brackets to attach it to your wall. It warns you that if you don't all your kids will die.

Making a piece of furniture with a heavier bottom and low center of gravity is a tall order, you can't expect cheap furniture companies to pay somebody to actually think about the design process!

It's not about the functionality, it's about making it as lightweight and cheap as possible to maximize profits. They know exactly what they're doing.

My Q-Face posted:Making a piece of furniture with a heavier bottom and low center of gravity is a tall order, you can't expect cheap furniture companies to pay somebody to actually think about the design process! they actually did think about it, which is why they tell you to mount it to a wall because they know the centroid is hosed and the slightest lateral force will tip it over. it's intentionally built out of the cheapest balsa-wood material possible so its easy to produce+transport so they designed it to be mounted, it's just people are lazy and don't want to finish the last step for variety of dumb reasons. ikea furniture is actually very well designed for their purposes--perhaps not the best built cause its like slave labor in like arkansas factories making GBS threads that stuff out by the minute.
