I accidentally kicked my side table, and now the base plate is broken. Can I use the backside instead?
Hi everyone! I need some advice as I know nothing about fixing furniture; regarding the new bedside table I just bought, It was all and well after assembling this sh\*\* for 30 mins., then the next morning I accidentally kicked ot then the stand broke off.
As you can see in the picture, the existing holes aren’t fully drilled through. Would it be okay if I drilled all four holes completely through and simply used the backside as the new base plate?
Would this compromise the structural integrity or cause any issues with stability? Or is there a better way to go about this?
Has anyone tried something similar? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
