My dog leaned against it when it was in barrier mods and a screw for a hinge ripped out of the wood. I am going to be in touch with Wayfair, I have found their customer service excellent. I hope they can simply get someone to in to repair it and reinforce fastenings so it does not happen with other screws.  Right now my dog is here but without a cratedog barrier and that is not helpful  (   
   On the plus side, very handsome piece of furniture and seems sturdy except for where it fastens together. Maybe I just got a defective one
