Do the doors hold up to being opened fairly regularly 2-3 times a week, or are they stiff or flimsy?

I use this piece regularly, and see no signs of early wear. Nicely made, especially for the price!

This piece of furniture is very sturdy however, the doors I do not open a lot-only one section I open 2-3 times a week-the middle. I found the doors sturdy themselves however the hardware not so much-I had to fix it a few times-but due to how heavy it is I did not want to return. I think if you change out to your own hardware it might be a bit better, but a really nice looking piece of furniture-good value for the price.

I think the cabinet and doors are very well made, have not had any problems with the doors

I am happy with it in my kitchen. I just have cookbooks and junk in there, so I'm not using it very much, but I would think it would hold up just fine even using it every day. It seems sturdy enough, the only flimsy part is the back panel, otherwise it's all wood.

If you keep it clean it's very easy to open. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

We have had our barn for about three years now and haven't had any issues with the hinge.

When its new, the door can be a little "sticky", but it didn't do that for long. It shouldn't take no more than a light tug to open it.

I've only had them for a few months, but they seem pretty sturdy. I doubt removing, cleaning, and replacing would cause them to fail very quickly at all.

I concur with Ann M. Terwillger. The door will be stiff but will open up. Open the door a few times so it will be less stiff.

Yes, I don't think it would have a problem. The doors are sturdy but not too heavy.

I have mine a few years and use it about five times a month and no problem at all. Not flimsy at all even got one for a friend one as a gift he uses his more than l do

I didn't have that problem. Mine has held up fine, just a little patina on the hinge. I live in a very dry area, if that might make a difference.

The door itself is strong. The hinges are heavy plastic and over 6-7 years of use, they just broke. The hinges might be reinforced or the maker could make them out of metal. We love the door...hinges just need more durability. But I guess 6-7 years is a good time for it to last.

I've been using mine for 3 months and haven't experienced any problems with the door or with anything else for this product.

I second that. I use my three racks a few times a week. The racks are very sturdy & stores anyway very easily. One of the best Amazon purchases I've ever made.

We have liked it, but the mechanism that opens and closes is a little flimsy. It will not stand up to vigorous use.

We have 3 Large dogs and just completed a extreme cold spell and the flaps were stiff but have not cracked or torn yet. The pet door faces south and gets sun on it. Our dogs are younger and go through the double flaps a hundred miles an hour. Were very happy with the door if anything were to happen to it I would replace with the same one.

I use mine in a large safe and they've been there for over a year. I probably go in and out of the safe about 5-10 times a month and each time the safe is only opened long enough to remove or return items.

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.
