The dresser that CPSC tested weighed about 75 pounds without any clothing in the drawers. CPSC intends to continue pressing the case for a recall with Hodedah. In 2014 through 2018, furniture tip-over incidents resulted in an estimated 20,900 emergency room visits per year.

In the same period, furniture tipovers resulted in at least 89 deaths (the death toll is expected to rise because reporting for these years is not yet complete). A majority of these deaths involved chests, bureaus or dressers, toppling over and killing small children.

Both ugly and expensive for the (lack of) quality. Hit a goodwill and find something less expensive and better made.
