Dinette structural stability project

While digging into the underseat storage on my primary dinette seat the other day, I discovered that the front panel was trying to escape from where it had been nailed to the sides. After gently hammering it back into place, I went to Lowe's to find a solution.

Under $5 for the pack of four, and yes, I did add the missing screw.
