I have always used a generous amount of wood glue to the joints of any self-assembly furniture with the result being the furniture stays in one piece long after the finishing material has become worn and shabby.
The fixings supplied and the material construction are just not capable of providing a solid, permanent result otherwise.
- AwaAwa 2y agoI would think that applying glue contributes to the reason why the furniture doesn't survive the first owner/disassembly. Unless this is meant for subsequent owners/houses? I've never had an issue with IKEA disassembly/assembly having moved/lived/purchased across 3 continents, but I have always done my own assembly/disassembly.
- dazc 2y agoFor bulky furniture that can not be easily transported in one piece you are correct.
