    Best fixing to use screws or just glue? (see picture)

    The rough dimensions of the wood pieces are 69mm, 69mm, 275mm. what do you think is the best way to secure them to each other, would glue alone be strong enough? a single screw in each corner can allows it to move which was annoying. any ideas welcome..
