The furniture tipping restraint includes a first anchor which is attached to the wall whereagainst the furniture is located and a second anchor which is attached to the back wall of the furniture. A restraint strap extends through holes in both of the anchors and includes a clamping aperture at one end thereof for receiving the other end of the restraint strap for forming a loop and thereby tying together the anchors and effectively restraining the furniture from tipping away from the wall. In another embodiment, a restraint strap includes a securement portion for attachment directly to either a wall or the furniture. An attachment clamp also includes a securement portion and is attached directly to either the wall or the furniture.

A strike member including a pair of fingers is attachable to one of the furniture parts. A lock member is attachable to the other furniture part and forms a pair of apertures between the lock member and furniture part. The strike member fingers are received within the respective lock member apertures and a lock mechanism selectively detachably attaches the strike member and lock member together.
