Will these be sufficient in the event of an earthquake?

Depends on the earthquake, how you install them and where you install them. If the wall comes down, well, the straps and furniture will come with it. If you install them not in a stud, a good shaker might pull them out of the wall. It is definitely better than NO straps, AND if you have little one's keeps the furniture from toppling forward if they start climbing up it.

We live in CA so that was a concern for us as well! We screwed these into the STUD (use a stud finder) and tested them by trying to get the dresser to tip with the weight of an adult. They work great! The person who had the screws snap must have done something very wrong, they said they used them on a shelf which is weird, these are for safety strapping furnature in case of accidental tipping (or a child climbing up) not to support a shelf.

I wouldn't buy them for any reason. The provided screws snapped at the head once installed, causing the whole shelf to tumble forward. Luckily our child was not under it.

They seem sturdy from what I can tell. I'd still recommend not stepping on them or putting pressure on them, as it is somewhat flat and "disc" shaped, so it could potentially break pretty easy in that regard.

As long as you don't forget to release them before running jacks up or down! If you forget, something will have to give and or break!

Definitely not. They will collapse. I'd say no more than 3 lbs max on top of them.

I really don't think these will hold that much weight, but I could be wrong. The only way to know for sure is to try it, but if they break you're out the cost of the units. Good luck!

Basing this on my own opinion only, I think they will be able to handle it. I have not read so on the box, nor do I still have the box. However, they seem pretty strong to me.

They are pretty sturdy, so I believe they would handle something hot, just not boiling hot.

The outside is much more vulnerable than the inside. As long as you do not store them to where they are going to rub you will be fine. This is a nice set.

I would think so! So far they have been very strong, no tear in the usual get in and out spots.

I think they would withstand the heat. I don't know if the size is right but heat wise, yes. I don;t think there is anything saying they wouldn't.

Yes they would be they are sturdy tiles. I have a glass table with umbrella and four chairs and the tiles hold up just fine.

I do not live in an earthquake zone, but can tell you that these mounts are very strong and sturdy. I had them holding up more than 20 lbs. with no issues. For me, if I did live in an earthquake zone and there was an earthquake, I would expect to be worried about other things than if my speakers were to have moved in the quake. Just sayin'. Overall, great mounts that I would buy again in a heartbeat.

I agree with Brett: these are probably not good for major incidents. Also they are really better for a bed-fast person, not one who is able to get out of bed and into a chair.

Good question. Yes, if there is no wind (or perhaps light wind). If the wind is more than light, expect some shaking.

Well, depends how forceful you are, but id be careful. They're sturdy enough for travel but it's mostly plastic so it'd probably break if you threw it at a wall. They'd survive being dropped on the floor.

If they are filled with light stuff ( underwear, socks,..) I would say yes, but they are as flimsy as they look in the picture.

Yes, that would work well. They are durable and should handle the wear and tear of that kind of use.
