Need help finding a piece of hardware. I'm not even sure what to call it to adequately search for it, but here goes.
I'm building a pedestal desk for the reception area of my daughter's dance studio. It's going to have 2 pedestals with a modesty panel in between along with a center drawer section.
Because of where this is going, there is no way it could be moved in one piece. So i need to do it in about 5 pieces that I can assemble in the shop, disassemble for the move and then reassemble on site. The 5 pieces would be the top, two pedestals, modesty panel and the center drawer section. I would like some type of break down hardware on it, so that in the future if it needs to be moved we can easily take it back apart. Right now I have parts cut out for the pedestals but haven't done any actually assembly while trying to figure out this issue.
I'm open to suggestions for how best to accomplish this. I could screw it together and then take the screws out, but I'm worried that over time especially during the build and move process the screw holes will get worn out and stop holding. I can picture myself taking it back and fort apart several times during construction, fitting, sanding and finishing as that would be easier than finishing it fully assembled.
