yup, they use those cam fixings, which pull everything together nice and
tight, whilst being nicely hidden.

Has anyone else noticed that they seem to have changed to plastic
for the cam part, making them a little less strong?


Yup, I noticed that when I put 5 together earlier this year.

Though in the context of where it is used I can't say that any less
perceived strength is an issue.
