Although the danger of placing an electric space heater too close to flammables isn't readily apparent, the material used for drapes, bedding, etc. will degrade over time after repeated exposure to the heat from a space heater until they become tinder.

people that dont have common sense have no business owning or using a space heater in my book. Common sense will tell you that something ELECTRIC with a HEATING ELEMENT in it that puts out alot of HEAT and gets very HOT should be kept far enough away from anything even remotely combustible. It is also really a wise idea to keep an eye on them anytime they are on too, even if it has a tip over switch and thermostat installed on it, of course most of us all-ready realize this.

@HappyDiscoDeath to have the heater in the middle of the room would actually increase the risk of fire by knocking it over, children finding it, or tripping over the power cord.

this video blows the issues out of proportion. just use common sense, keep 3' of distance from the front, a moderate distance (1/4 foot) from the sides and back, shut it off when you're gone, keep the heater off to the side, and watch kids and pets that are in the vicinity. don't do anything stupid, and you won't start a fire. I have used a heater overnight since last winter, and have not had any problems, even though I *gasp* have the heater's back intake vent a couple inches from the wall.
