How do I keep a tall bookcase from tipping over?

Any bookcase 48" or taller should be anchored to a wall stud with an anti-tip strap or L-bracket — this is a code requirement in many places and a critical safety step regardless of local rules. Load progressively lighter from bottom to top and never pile heavy items on upper shelves. FindOfficeFurniture.com provides anti-tip anchoring guidelines with all tall bookcase orders — call 888-719-4960 for installation safety details.
