## 3 Results and Discussion  
In the analysis, the studies that dealt with the research on corner joints and those that described the research results on edge banding were separated. Although corner joints and edge bands in particleboard furniture are often interdependent, most studies separate these two concepts, and research rarely unites them to achieve interdisciplinary parameters of aesthetics and overall product quality. Therefore, the articles were first divided into two groups: those that investigated the parameters and application of edge bands (e.g., studies that investigated the influence of particleboard processing on the joint with the edge band, the influence of the type of glue, and the technique of applying glue on the quality of the glued joint), and studies that dealt with the research of corner joints (e.g., investigate the influence of different types of corner joints and numerous factors on the overall strength, load-bearing capacity, and durability of particleboard furniture, or investigate the influence of the design of corner joints on the visual appeal of particleboard furniture). Finally, key points and cluster possibilities for further research are discussed. Several types of corner joints are commonly used in furniture construction, such as dowel joints, biscuit joints, confirmat screw joints, and cam lock joints. The type of joint, such as dowel joints, and factors such as dowel size and edge banding thickness are crucial for furniture strength. Dowel joints connect elements with wooden dowels and glue to provide a strong and durable joint. A biscuit joint is a type of joinery technique that involves connecting furniture elements with oval-shaped solid beech wood biscuits inserted in slots and glued with the ability to create strong, invisible joints. Confirmat screw joints using specialized screws were inserted into the pre-drilled holes to provide a secure connection. Each type of joint has advantages and considerations, such as the materials being joined, the desired strength and durability, and the aesthetic preferences of the furniture manufacturer. The factors known to influence corner joint strength include the type of joint, adhesive used, and base material. Different types of joints, such as single-dowel, double-gluing, and \begin{table}

Table 1: Studies selection criteria. grooved-dowel joints, can significantly affect the strength of the joints. The use of proper adhesives and gluing techniques can improve the nominal strength of joints. Thoroughly covering the walls of dowel holes with adhesives is important for maximizing connection strength [3; 14; 15; 16; 17].
