My wife and I just bought new nightstands that are made form particle board. After I put it together you can see some of the seems. I was wondering if there is anything I can get to seal it so they wont end up pealing in the future. If anyone has any ideas for me I would really appreciate the info. Here is two pics of the seems I am talking about.
The seem in the above pic. I know I can use a marker and make it not as noticeable, but I didn't know if they made something better that would help it hold up.

Good luck!
You could use some type of glue, but may need to wait until it starts peeling more so you can get glue in there.
Glue
I would paint the whole piece with a couple coats of polypropylene. Particle board is not long lasting, so coating it with polypropylene will help it last longer.
You use paintable/stainable caulk to fill in the seam. You run a small bead of caulk down the seam and using your finger, you smooth the caulk by running your finger down the bead of caulk. Once dry you can stain it or paint it a matching color as the item. Very simple and easy fix
