RE: It's on my mental to do list to fasten all of our furniture to the walls in
That really is an important consideration for those with young children. We got a real scare with our youngest daughter years ago. We had a heavy entertainment center that was made of solid oak and six feet tall. Our daughter was about 3, and decided she wanted to a movie. She stared climbing up the open video drawers like they were stairs. The leverage brought the whole thing down right at her. We dug her out, and by a miracle she had fallen back into a pocket where the drawers she was standing on got pinched into the falling assembly and acted as lever. She was laying completely unhurt in the space between the drawers and the top of the entertainment center.

The other lucky thing was the storage side did not include the TV. It could have seriously injured her. I saw an article the other day that said something like 50 people die every year from TVs falling on them.
