At just a glance (i.e. no proper analysis), I imagine that when you "leaned"
on it, you'll have a few members in tension somewhere in the structure.
The structure will deflect very little. Even those seemingly long members
that are in compression may not deflect much at all. I imagine it takes
quite a bit of load before you see them buckle elastically.
