In the United States 3 small children have been killed by Ikea Malm chests falling on top of them (Ted McGee of Minnesota - 6 Drawer Malm Chest, Curren Collas 6 Drawer Malm Chest, 3rd Unnamed Child from Washington, 3 Drawer Malm Chest)
Ikea have paid around £40m (US$60m) in compensation to their families.
Ikea provide a bracket to attach each Malm chest to the wall and there is a diagram in the instructions highlighting the risk. Ikea also sell a number of items which will fall over when you open the doors unless they are attached to the wall, these include ALL Billy Bookcases with Doors and some of the PAX systems.
The bottom line is that it is obvious that some items should be attached to the wall and less obvious with others, however many people do not want to attach furniture to the wall or may be prevented by the terms of their lease.
At Flat Pack Amigos we will advise all customers of this and attach all items to the wall if required for £6 per item (excluding wardrobes and TV systems) with the anti-topple device or bracket included by Ikea.
Flat Pack Amigos will charge a fee (Currently £12) per wardrobe for attaching any wardrobe or wardrobe system (ie Pax) to the wall. This is because greater work is required to ensure a solid fixing. For TV systems (inc Besta/Hemnes) this will be quoted for where appropriate.

Christopher says ”
Chap arrived on time and explained the actions he would carry out, and roughly how long the assembly would take. He commenced work and if I could be allowed to take this opportunity to state that in all my years of having work done to my house this chap was one of the most professional men I have had the pleasure to deal with. The reassurance he gave at the beginning followed by his work ethic was was absolutely brilliant, and suffice to say the work was completed well on time. Well worth the cost. Many Thanks.“
