Bringing unstable furniture into the home poses a significant risk to kids, as items that tip over can lead to serious injuries or accidents, and the IKEA STORKLINTA series helps to enhance well-being and peace of mind at home with industry-first furniture safety features.
This new range of chests and dressers was designed in compliance with the Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth (STURDY) Act, and includes a patented Anchor and Unlock mechanism to counteract toppling. These sleek, modern furniture pieces are as aesthetically pleasing and functional as ever, allowing multiple drawers to be opened at once without the risk of tipping.
IKEA's GULLABERG series similarly features Anchor and Unlock, and draws from the retailer's Scandinavian origins to share versatile designs for different rooms.
