Using 6 of those big plastic lego storage containers to make a coffee table is pretty popular. These clips help make it so you don't have to drill any holes to keep it together.

Note: Pictured table does not yet have a plexiglass top added to it.

This was made using 6 identical "2 drawer" lego storage containers.

Two types of clips are included, the double-wide-slot (actuallynecessary) clips are required to keep the table halves together, but I added a single-wide-single-slim clip as well so the gap (3mm) can be set more consistently along the other axis. I used 4 of each (see images).

I used sheets of cardboard between the clips and the lego plactics to prevent scratches and get a nice strong hold. You can glue them on instead, or even shrink the parts by a few % of you want a really tight hold and don't mind scratching the lego plastics.

Optimized for 0.8 nozzle and 3 walls (0.8*6 = 4.8mm).
This results in a strong part with no infill, suggest 6 walls for a 0.4 nozzle to get the same effect.
Parametric F3D file if you need to tweak stuff.
