Each of the panel components include opposite side surfaces and edge surfaces therebetween, the fastening assembly including a system for joining the panel components one to the other in which an elongated open channel extends from an edge surface and into the face of one of the side surfaces of the first panel component. An elongated fastening element is disposed within a bore in a surface of the second panel component and is adapted for insertion into the channel, the channel being closed by an insert so that the elongated fastening element is covered by the insert when the panel components are brought into abutting relationship and joined by the elongated fastening element.
