Flat pack furniture

Posted by Karen Thomas, on
I’ve just put a cheap Argos wardrobe together, I’m wondering is it better to nail the back on with the tiny nails provided or use a strong wood glue

Make sure that the top of the board is in 90 degrees to the sides of the side of the cabinet otherwise your new piece of furniture will not stand straight or you will have problems with closing doors or drawers. Any problems you can always ask. Regards, Rafal

Dear Karen, Don’t use glue. Use the little nails provided as it will hold better. Those nails do not just hold the back board of the cabinet... this board holds the whole unit together, believe or not :) Hope it helps. Best Regards, Rafal
