I’ve only had one occurrence where I’d purchased Totem Arro’s from a well reviewed seller, only to have a top corner - damaged veneer and mdf - pushed in after opening the packaging. It was a combination of the seller not applying sufficient filler and support in the corners, and UPS throwing the double box around like it was a medicine ball (puncture holes and push-ins everywhere). They still played just fine, very solidly constructed speakers. Seller ended up giving me a huge discount.
