Flat Pack, Ready to Assemble(RTA) or Knock Down(KD) Furniture is commonly constructed from sheets of Particle Board which are Butt Jointed together and held in place by a variety of mechanical fittings - known generally as Knock Down or KD Fittings.


Screw and bolt type KD Fittings, which pull the joint together, are often supplemented by use of dowels to provide added location.


In addition, various brackets and braces are also used to strengthen or protect edges and corners of other products, especially those made from thin sheet materials, and repair plates are available, which are shaped and drilled to reinforce loose joints by being screwed across them.
