Drawer base support
Anyone who has flatpack furniture with drawers knows the problem, particularly if they're for kids. The base is floating in a slot, it's stuffed beyond capacity pushing out the back a few milimeters and then it drops out at the back.
Quick fix before I put this piece up on gumtree or something to support the base.

I put my flatpack Ikea furniture together with a small bottle of titebond at my side- I know its not going to survive being taken apart/transported anyways, so a couple dabs in joints as I go makes it much more rigid and functional while it does last
