As I look this cabinet over, it appears that it was largely assembled with screws and glue. Is that correct? I am considering trying to disassemble the cabinet to deal with the veneer issues. Am I insane? Your input is gratefully requested. If I do so, I think I can reglue the veneer to the side columns. Has anyone ever tried anything like this? That seems to be the only way I can get a good fit and a good glue job on the veneer.

Thanks,
TerryMSU
