Yes, for safety and stability, we strongly recommend using the included anti-tip hardware to secure the bookcase to your wall, especially in homes with children or pets.
Yes, the Emmer bookcase is equipped with built-in levelers at the base, allowing you to make minor adjustments to ensure the unit stands perfectly straight on hardwood, tile, or carpeted floors.
