Every single Ikea kitchen furniture unit I've worked with has been flat pack, made of chipboard and assembled with these bolts that attach to a sort of a worm screw (edit: cam dowel lock nut), and some dowels, maybe a few screws. Not a single sheet of real wood or plywood, no dovetail or finger joints.


Yes the cams is how ikea put drawers together in just about everything. Its a pretty cool and good solution. It's just not a box joint
