Who defines it

This is the only word on the site with a published federal requirement behind it. The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which issues federal safety standards and publishes product recalls, describes a standard for clothing storage units, codified at 16 CFR part 1261, that applies to units manufactured after September 1, 2023. According to that description, the standard covers free-standing units at least 27 inches tall, with a mass of at least 30 pounds and at least 3.2 cubic feet of enclosed storage, and it requires an anti-tip device that meets ASTM F3096 to be packaged with the product, along with warning labels.

What the listings do with it

The scope in that description is set by height, mass and enclosed storage volume. No dresser listing here prints any of the three, so this site cannot place a single dresser inside or outside that scope, and it does not try.

The same description names bookcases and office furniture among the products that are not within the standard’s scope. Bookcase listings are counted on this page because they are storage furniture that stands on the floor, not because that standard reaches them.

What holds a piece to a wall is a part with a name. No listings in the catalog name one, the listing that prints anti-tip included. The word is printed by the seller; this site does not read it as a description of any part.

Nothing on this site describes how such a part is fitted. That belongs to the manufacturer’s instructions and, where a wall is involved, to someone who does that work.

What the word does not promise

What the part is, whether one is packed with the piece, or whether the piece falls inside the federal scope. The listing prints a design, not a device.
