Should a straight desk be anchored to a wall?

Freestanding straight desks with four legs do not typically require wall anchoring in office settings. However, in seismically active regions (California, Pacific Northwest), anchoring freestanding furniture is recommended. Panel-based systems are generally anchored to the floor or wall as part of their installation. Always anchor desks in environments where children are present.
