Good morning everyone, I am currently planning to safely and practically furnish a nursery using the IKEA Platsa series. I want to focus not only on appearance but especially on safety when handling the furniture, as our baby will soon become mobile. Does anyone know of proven methods to prevent the Platsa modules from tipping over, or tips on choosing and arranging them so that no corners or edges pose a hazard? What additions, such as wall anchors or padded edges, would you recommend? I appreciate any suggestions that help create a safe yet functional nursery with Platsa. Thank you in advance!

One more tip: If you have tall modules, always use solid end panels at the bottom and avoid shelves without a back panel. Back panels are very important for stability with Platsa.

Basically: PLATSA requires wall mounting. For baby safety, add corner protectors on exposed edges. Secure modules with cabinet locks. This is usually sufficient.

Thanks again to everyone! The tips on connectors and improving stability with shelves were especially helpful. I will apply all of this and report back if anyone has specific questions about assembling PLATSA in the nursery.
