A dresser investigation may consider its dimensions, center of gravity, drawer configuration, loading, feet or base, anchoring provisions, and condition at the time of the incident. Assembly instructions, anti-tip hardware, photographs, measurements, product specifications, and evidence showing which drawers were open or loaded can also be relevant. The analysis should address the particular dresser and incident conditions rather than assume that every tip-over occurred for the same reason.
Cabinetry and millwork can fit within Furniture when the dispute concerns the construction, components, assembly, attachment, workmanship, or performance of the item itself. Examples may include cabinet doors, drawers, shelving, fasteners, hinges, joints, and mounting systems. Questions involving surrounding walls, structural framing, or broader construction practices may require a carpenter, contractor, or other construction specialist.
Chair, sofa, stool, and other seating disputes may involve frame or leg failure, loose joints, fastener problems, seat or back supports, reclining or adjustment mechanisms, stability, or deterioration from use. Upholstered pieces can also require examination of padding, coverings, seams, attachment methods, and the underlying frame when those components are relevant to the alleged failure.
Whenever practical, the furniture should be preserved in its post-incident condition, including detached or broken parts, fasteners, anchors, brackets, and replacement components. Photographs of the original location, assembly instructions, purchase records, installation information, repair history, measurements, and surveillance footage can provide context that may be lost if the item is moved, repaired, or discarded.
