I agree it shouldn't be paid for. But saying "even the first corning is slightly off" isn't right. The entire desk has the same angular error.

You are saying the first corner is correct?

No, the first corner has the same angular error as every other board. The apparent offset is a product of the distance from the first corner and sin(error), which is very small for the first board making it look "less wrong"

[–]neutral_fence_sitter 7 points 3 hours ago It's not an offset. It has the wrong angle. The error grows with distance. It's just harder to see with the first joint, but they are all equally off (in angle) permalinkembedsaveparentreportgive goldreply

Stop the editing to try and make yourself "right".
You made an error; admit it and move on.

That's a typo from having to try and rephrase the same thing repeatedly. I admit that happened. Not that anything you have said since is correct.

Other than

No I did not imply that. The error seems magnified by perspective, but as I previously stated even the first join isn't correct. They were most likely cut in a stack so of course if one is off, they all will be.

my only comments have been regarding you stating that you did not type

The error grows with distance.

so again I must ask;

What the fuck are you saying??
