 great April 7, 2008

This product is one of those items that you'll never know you need until that one time you do. It was easy to install and it seemed sturdy to do its job.
 Good product October 30, 2007

Overall, I am very happy with this product. I read the previous reviews as well. I never had a problem with the straps becoming brittle, I installed these on some large cabinets and removed them two years later with no problems. I do however agree that the screws do strip easily, and you have to be careful with that. I was able to get around it by putting a lot of pressure on the cordless drill and making sure to use a low torque setting.
However, I like the design of these brackets better than any I've seen, so I would still recommend them even if you buy better screws to install them with. Other anti-tip brackets need to be unscrewed to be able to move the furniture to get behind it, with this you can just undo the zip-tie and put it back when you are done.
 They break on their own! August 14, 2007

Unless they have started making the strap out of a different material, DON'T rely on this to keep your furniture from tipping!. I know that there is better plastic available, so I don't know why they don't use a another type that doesn't get brittle over a couple of years.
All I can think of is PROFITS. That's why it is made so cheaply. If you already have this product, try replacing the strap with the heavy-duty zip-ties that you buy at the hardware store -- they come in a package of 20-50 or so and you can cut them and replace them whenever you need to move the furniture.
 not strong enough July 16, 2007

We used these with our first child and I had no complaints, BUT she was not a climber and when we went to move and remove the straps, they were so brittle that they fell apart in my hands. Had my daughter ever tried to climb the furniture, the straps would have surely given way and allowed the furniture to fall over on top of her. This was 4 years after installation, so I can't say at what point they were no longer reliable, hence the 2 stars...they did at least work in the beginning.
Needless to say, I'm going with the fabric strap version with my second child who climbs everything.
Working GREAT for us April 30, 2007

I have to disagree with the previous 2 reviews...we've had these for 5 years now, and they are still holding strong. Just reading the bad reviews made me doublecheck them today, and I see no problem with them at all. I am now ordering another set for baby #2 on the way. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is that my son has never been a climber, so we have never had an emergency situation to see how they really would perform.
