• To add strength ; We will overlap and make triangular joints as shown
• Hot glue the joint and secure using paper tape
• Strengthen top of the table by inserting a new peace
• Using PVA glue or fevicol stick it
I have noticed hot glue is not strong, simple PVA glue is much stronger
Tips

- Keep protection below the corrugated box to protect floor
- The knife used to cut goes blunt
- Use PVA glue / fevicol, it is much stronger than hot glue
- Do not use water paint, I left mine with it's natural color
