Thread lock on the threads for any screw in connections; wood glue for any dowel joints (both holes); epoxy for the metal nub on cam joints (twisting the round joint to pull in a metal ball).

A lot of the flatpack stuff ain’t great, and this will not make the boards themselves bear more weight, but it tends to feel flimsy because the joints can get loose and wiggly— especially drawers which you move a lot.

Just adding a dab here or there of an appropriate adhesive will stop things coming loose and or falling apart.
