A furniture securing system includes abase attachable to a wall, abase attachable to a piece of furniture, and a connector connected to both bases to help prevent tipping of a piece of furniture. One or both of the bases include a pivotable attachment element that attaches the connector to the base. By allowing pivoting of the attachment element, the force from the connector when the furniture pulls on the connector orients the attachment element along the same direction as the force. The system may include limited parts, a low profile, and have a straightforward assembly. The base may limit the total pivot sweep angle of the attachment element.
