My daughter bought one of those flat-pack WallyWorld book cases for her dorm
room. I assembled it and stood it against wall when she first moved in.

2 years later she got an off-campus apartment. Now, I'm pretty good at
packing my trailer to keep the contents safe. God knows I've done it
enough times. We loaded everything in, strapped it all down and off we
went.

I drove 3 miles to her apartment, opened the trailer, took out the
pieces of the busted up book case and put them by the dumpster. It sure
doesn't take stress much to blow those fasteners right out of the
fiber board. A few bumps and it was toast.

I would have disassembled it for transport, myself.

Feel free, but not me.

I had a particleboard (vinyl woodgrain) bookshelf unit that
I got in 1979. It survived four moves by simply disassembling
it and reassembling it. It's not rocket science.

Yeah but yeah but ;~) Back then it was quality compared to recent stuff.


It was ugly crap held together with cheap screws. I can't imagine that
modern stuff has worse quality.

OK, you win.
