This box is made of natural wood and due to the nature of the wood and depending on your location, you can see warping. (mostly in winter). So it is acceptable that you can see a gap up to 4-5 mm gap between sides. Again it depends on your region, climate... It is not a production problem. A seasonal difference in humidity and weather. If you see this gap, you can put some heavy items and leave them for a while. *To see the detailed history and plans of Thomas Jefferson's Writing Box, click here.
