Thanks for validating and expanding on my post with more detail.<p>I personally wouldn&#x27;t try using glue on flat-pack furniture, though. For one, the pieces are generally finished there they connect, which means you are gluing to a lacquer on at least one side (possibly both!), and wood glue really wants a porous surface like unfinished wood. Another reason is that much flat-pack furniture (less so Ikea) is super cheap particle board that simply isn&#x27;t strong enough to support the much weight from its surface like you would force it to with glue.<p>When used properly, however, wood glue is indeed shockingly strong.
