Gorilla glue will foam up and make a mess, use wood glue.
If the joints are not both bare wood, you need to remove the laminate from the wood, or the glue will not work. Use a razor knife to cut a clean line an pull the strip of laminate off, then glue up.

Use Gorilla Glue in all joints and seams. Use proper screws/bolts tightening only a little each and then go back and re-tighten after all have been put in. Allow glue to dry 24 hours prior to use. Do not move with heavy objects on the furniture and check weight limits.

I have been wanting to this, but end up building my own. Glue the pieces together with Project Liquid Nails. Allow this dry for 24 hours. Coat with a good brand of polyurethane. I am positive that just sealing the press board should increase the life span. Let me if it works. Good luck

As the others have said, carpenters glue at all the joints. If you can, after you tighten the fasteners use carpenters clamps overnight as well. Do not use the piece of furniture for at least 24 hours while the glue hardens.

At every joint use good wood glue, allow the glue to dry overnight before using the furniture.
