Do tall storage cabinets need anti-tip protection?

Yes — any storage cabinet 48"+ tall should be anti-tip anchored to the wall or floor, especially when shelves are loaded. A fully loaded 72" cabinet can weigh 200–400 lbs and can tip if a bottom shelf is heavily loaded and a top shelf is accessed simultaneously. Commercial storage cabinets include anti-tip foot options or wall-anchor hardware. OSHA requires tip-prevention for tall storage units in commercial environments. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, anti-tip hardware is included or available for all tall storage cabinets — call 1-800-460-0858.
