[about fragile flakeboard product]
I would have disassembled it for transport, myself.
Good thought but at least a few of those fancy fasteners would not go
back together as well the second time as the first.
Or any screw in termite vomit.
It helps if you put a little white glue in each hole, and (after it dries) apply
a hot iron to flatten the board.
The real key, is to use three screws where you'd use one for solid wood.
Between screws and paint, flakeboard is a high-overhead way to save cash.
