No offense to your flat pack, but it was garbage then and it’s not better now (you have apparently taken good care of it to not have it fall apart since)
I have had a lot of flat pack stuff because poverty, including a full wood coffee table that sat in a box for 20 years (mom bought it) before I used it. Took 6 months before that one started to wobble from normal use.
It’s never been good. I’d almost argue they are better now than 20 years ago, because people can’t afford legacy furniture and everything is flat-pack. And that is not saying much.
Put some thread locker on those shitty table leg bolts. That'll keep it sturdy until the bolts rip themselves out of the pressboard garbage they're glued to
That wasn’t the problem, it was just shoddy construction, but thank you.
