Building wardrobe interiors

I'm planning on building my wardrobe interior with panels of 18mm MFC.

However, ideally I'd like to avoid any screw holes etc. Will wooden dowels be sufficient enough, or would I need to use cam dowels too? :undecided

And if wooden dowels are ok, would I need to use 10mm? Would 4mm either side be enough, or should I use 8mm dowels? Would they hold?

Thanks very much

    I would use cross head screws with plastic end caps for an interior.
    Drilling and positioning dowels requires absolute precision and can be a real ball acher.
    But if dowels are what you want, then 6mm dowels are strong enough.
    Forgotten but not gone.
