Choice might like to consider tall furniture such as book shelf units and some taller drawer units in this risk list. It is rare for either to be secured to the wall. There are instances of both types of furniture toppling when climbed?

P.S.
I could add red dyed pickled onions to the list as a personal issue given they seemed to look a bit like a red glacé cherry. But you only make that mistake once! :face_vomiting:
It’s probably also a good idea to keep those laxative chocolate bars well concealed too!
