Yeah I'm not sure. Reminds me of a buffet w/hutch, they've got vertical supports in the back, but the hutch sits flush on the buffet. Do you have any equipment for cutting in dowels or biscuits? Even glue or gravity might do the trick.
Yup, i got everything for all options i'm considering :). I was leaning to camlocks and pins in case i ever wanted to remove it, but reading up it seems they're best for connecting an upright to a flat plane at 90c, not joining boards
Bookcase doesn't have any supports that extend past the back of the desk thank fuck, just sits flat.
I reckon dowels, make it like lego. I'm not a carpenter or anything and my logical/mechanical brain doesn't always come to the best conclusions.
