You just find the bin with those kits. (Well, this is how my IKEA is set up.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tethering-furniture-to-wall-questions#post-2244028 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:36:34 +0000 MaryM 2244028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved with old Ikea bookshelves, and knowing there's a baby on the way I ordered a bunch of these <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANJLSTA?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANJLSTA?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00</a>. </p> <p>We screwed them in to the top shelf and it didn't split. There's one tiny bump where DH got close to the edge, but he was mostly just super careful to stay withing the width of the shelf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tethering-furniture-to-wall-questions#post-2244015 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 13:25:38 +0000 Cole 2244015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The post on the Ikea recall for furniture tipping has me ready to buy straps to secure our furniture. </p> <p>We have a bookshelf in her room and I am worried that putting a screw into the wood is going to split it and the back isn't very thick. Is there some type of option that would let me somehow adhere the strap to the back? It isn't particle board but what would you do if it was? </p> <p>Can you order more of the Ikea kits for expedited shelves? Our new kallax shelves came with them but the old ones either didn't or we threw them out. </p>
