My U_shaped dinette booth free standing back broke loose from the wall support after a friend leaned back against it while sliding out of the dinette. When we got the trailer home I looked at the damage. I found that the "P.T. Craftsmen" had used 1/4 inch staples to go through a 1/8 inch panel and into the wall support. meaning that there were 6 staples with only 1/8 of an inch hold on the back of the bench.
Being out of warranty, I removed the staples, drilled pilot holes and screwed the back panel back into place. As an extra measure, I took one of the old cabinet stiles the I removed when I installed my fireplace and glued and screwed it into the wall against the back panel. The stile only needed to be stained to match on one end and no one knows I had to rebuild the bench.
