How to strengthen a timber plant stand?

Hello, I have a timber plant stand that wobbles more than stands at the moment. There seem to be three slim nails on each side. Two sides are coming apart (see pictures - this is correct way up - the pot sits within the longer exposed timber. 

to strengthen the pot stand and prevent the ceramic pot falling through - would liquid nails do the job with the help of a mallet for a seamless line?

Re: strengthening a timber plant stand

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Julie10. It's marvellous to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about fixing a plant stand.

 

You could try Liquid Nails or even PVA glue should work. I'd be inclined to pop a screw in each joint, though, to help hold it together. Pre-drill through the leg and into the end of the support, and then screw through. If you weren't confident in doing that, installing a small mending plate across the joint would also work.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
