Flat Pack Design

This company designs furniture that is made of paper (but as strong as wood, apparently) and can be assembled without tools. Instead, they include super-strong 3M adhesive strips. I like the idea of assembling the products without using tools, but I think the adhesive strips would cause problems. The user could not disassemble the furniture for moving, and if they misaligned the pieces, they could not easily correct the mistake. I would like to pursue a similar idea, but with a sturdier and more forgiving assembly method. Maybe using interlocking grooves or something...
