Default Anchor to prevent freestanding bookshelf from tipping over


"Stephen_B" wrote in message

I have toddlers (need I say more?). I would like to anchor a
freestanding bookshelf to the wall so that it does not topple over in
case any of them have climbing aspirations.

The L-bracket works well for shelves in which the back is open, but I
was hoping to find some kind of canvas strap to use for my closed
shelves. Any suggestions?

You could install an L bracket between the top and the wall. It can be
hidden easily and would certainly look better than a strap.
