Quoted from swanng:

Rule number 1:
If advice sound ridiculous or stupid, disregard it.
That corner of the cabinet NEEDS repair and reinforcing.

It's not really a corner that I would be too concerned about reinforcing. The bottom corner of the cab doesn't actually even touch the leg.

However, to fill the void seen from the underside, I might use either JB Weld or just glue in a dowel. I probably wouldn't bother building up the corner back to where it should be, though. A patch is going to be tough to anchor there, and is likely just going to pop off anyway.

Quoted from Matthew2015:

which kind of j-b weld ? ClearWeld or KwikWood? something that would be easy to fill that hole.

Kwikwood--it's like playdoh when you first mix it up. You could stuff it in the hole, and then just let it cure.

Clearweld is just liquid gel epoxy.

Generally, the best approach is usually to build the kwikwood a little above the surface you're matching it to, then sand it flat, then paint it.
