A system for sturdily joining one or more supporting members to a solid wood surface, such as a table top or raised panel (e.g. a panel used for constructing a door), while minimizing distortion to the table top or door panel, is provided. Such structural assemblies producible in ready-to-assemble format are also provided. Brackets are rigidly connected to the supporting members or structure, but are each connected to the solid wood surface in two ways: (1) with a pin connection, which prevents translation in one or more directions and may prevent separation, and (2) with one or more sliding connections, which prevent separation but allow the solid wood surface to expand or contract freely in a direction perpendicular to that of the wood grain 0n the solid wood surface. The structural assembly produced with the resulting partially restrained connection is sturdy, yet permits the solid wood surface to remain free from distortion when it is subjected to changes in environment.
