The picture shows a poster in my local Toolstation about their kitchen cabinets. See the bit circled in yellow. Has anyone tried them? Can you build one in 30 seconds and, if so, what kind of cabinet was it!?

No idea, but if true I guess they must be camlock fittings?0

Probably not, since in their own promotional video...

...even their own assembler fails to do that.
He does build it in 51 seconds though which is not bad going and the product looks OK.

Is it essentially like 'click' laminate flooring? A 'hooked' T&G?0

"UNICLIC technology is a tongue & groove solution which allows a 90° click unit connection. This revolutionary technology makes it possible to assemble flat pack kitchen cabinets simply by clicking the components together without the need for tools, screws or glues!"Doesn't inspire much confidence1

It's clever, but I'd definitely add glue0

For base units, I'd imagine the T&G connection will be fine as the base of the unit is supported by the legs. However, if the wall units are the same, I wouldn't fancy filling the cupboards with lots of tins and relying on that T&G chipboard joint.3

For your own you would want better but if you were installing them quickly for someone else so you could make lots of profit they might be a good idea.0
