One or more of the flat panels is "warped". I learned to run guidelines with the tape measure function and then draw my boxes to those guidelines. When you're drawing in a 3D perspective, it's easy to get one or more of your corners off by as little as a 32nd or so, because you're seeing everything at an angle and you have no guidelines to go by most of the time...you're just pulling boxes wherever they go.
I generally start a design now by running along the axis' and putting a guideline every foot or so.
Play with the tape measure some and you'll see what I mean. Takes a little practice to get the fine details.
But in the real world, that warping doesn't make a nickel's worth of difference. Just makes it look funny. And we like pretty, don't we?

Go ahead and get your project started because it's just like having kids...if you wait to start until you're skilled enough or rich enough, you'll never do it. And just look at what you'd miss!

In planning any project you've never attempted before, always allow for the three three's: It will take you three times longer, three times more material, and three times more money than you thought.
