Hi all

I have bought a


And it says to attach to the wall to keep from falling over. However, after paying over 5k for a electrical rewire and there also being pipes I am too scared to put any nails or screws in the wall. So wondering if there's any alternatives?
Maybe some very strong glue hooks? Or similar?

Thanks all
 
Very unusual to have pipes in walls or power above where you place wardrobes assuming you are not stand them in front of sockets or light switches.?
The supplied wall connection won’t prevent a child hanging off the door and destroying the pile of cr*p IKEA produce.

We have similar wardrobes, they're not attached to the wall they're very stable, I think you'd need to be king Kong to pull them over with everything Mrs Mercurys shoved in them. IKEAs obsession with fixing stuff back to walls stems from a multi million dollar legal case brought against them a few years ago when several kids died after they pulled a chest of drawers over themselves, since then every IKEA unit comes with the pesky disclaimer and silly brackets. Sure they're certainly appropriate for some things like the Malm or Billy but not for everything IMO.
