Important Safety Information
⚠️ ATTENTION: There is a risk of serious injury from furniture tip-over.
To prevent tip-over, the furniture must be permanently secured with the fixings included in the package. If mounting to the wall, use an appropriate wall mounting rail (sold separately at IKEA). Check that the wall material can support the furniture's weight. Screws and fixings for the wall are not included as they depend on the wall material. Assembly must be carried out by a qualified person. Improper assembly can cause furniture tip-over and serious injury. If in doubt, consult a specialized retailer.
