I got to the last part of the assembly of unit no2 and whilst putting

I tried to stick it back with super glue but no good....it is raised
slightly, although I put a precision flat surface on it weighed it down
with a microwave transformer. It looks like the dowel hole had been
drilled very close to the surface and the force offered by the mating
hole just pushed it through.

Unusual for IKEA, their stuff is normally very accurate. Perhaps you
pushed too hard.

Four or five times I had to re-assemble a drawer, because the slide-in
base didn't. The rough finish and swaff on machined compressed sawdust can
make all the difference.
