I have been putting my desk together for like 4 hours now, and when I went to put the last piece on, the particleboard just disentigrated. Whoever designed this thing never thought about how having two small screws 1/2" deep might not be enough to support the thing during construction.
So... What do I do now? There is no returning the desk, it was a special order item, and it would take a few more hours to get apart again. Maybe if I drilled bolts all the way through the panel, it'd stay together, but I am still really worried about the side giving out completely.
