I’m about to start putting together some simple furniture and one thing I want is to have the option to collapse it, if I need to move it out of a room.

I’ve looked into confirmat screws and those are incredibly strong but have the downside of requiring specialized drill bits to use. These screws I can get easily in my market, in 500 units boxes.

Are there other options I can look into?

Added information

Material to be used will either be OSB3 or plywood.

    I apreciate the suggestion but, at best, that is overly technical and requires tools I don’t have and can’t fit in my house, like a table saw.

    Opting for screws, as I see it, will allow me to build around the concept of basic boxes I can put together with a strong conector that does not require skill beyond knowing how to properly operate a hand drill, to then stack to form the final bookcase.

    My concern is finding a connector that will allow for repeated assembly and disassembly, if necessary, without sacrificing strenght and ease of use, while minimizing wear and tear of the hole.

      Do you have a circular saw? You can do the dadoes in the sides with that by setting up a guide and taking multiple passes. Use a chisel to clean up the base afterward and it’ll be great. For repeatable assembly, maybe go for those threaded inserts combined with hex bolts.

        I have but I lack the hability to use it to that level of hability. I’ve tried on very rough work, where precision wasn’t a high requirement, and the results were disastrous.
