A small ribbed fitting, called the wedge dowel, is changing the way IKEA furniture is assembled. The dowels come pre-installed in the furniture panels. This means that you don’t need a whole toolbox to assemble your IKEA furniture. The idea came from a traditional way of putting furniture together. Combining industrial techniques with handcrafted production methods, wedge dowels have replaced traditional metal fittings for assembly. This means that an entire bookcase can be assembled in a lot less time! The wedge dowels also make the construction very sturdy. (+ source)
