It would be nice to have a slightly angled rear-end to raise the bumper a bit. Most of the damage we see is to the larger cabinet door inside. They often fall off because the screws vibrate out and lately the hinges have actually broken. That may give you an idea of what we put it through. I'm not going to shoot it to see if it's bulletproof, though. ;)
