Please help to fix my crooked stand

Maybe a little less than half inch or maybe more, I am blind with milimeters. But I think it is not a big deal compared with an half inch difference right now. I don't want the stand to collapse one day. I will go with oak if it is cheaper.

Very solid. They are man-made, composite stuff. Won't compress, even wet, like wood can. They are 9"+ and tapered very nicely. Plus, score them a couple times, and they readily snap off. Can't go wrong with 'em.
Wish I could link them, but even with the code from my receipt, they won't come up on the Home Depot site where I bought them.
It's these, but grey instead of brown

If you've got nothing but time on your hands why not just fix the stand?

You just don't know how lazy I am yet, I actually enjoy every minute just sitting around doing nothing ... just no money. And I don't think I am able to fix it, because the wood I got cut at Home Depot were so uneven at the beginning. I didn't notice untill I started to build it. Too late now, all glued and screwed together. I am so embarrassed just to look at my crooked stand that I have made. The most ugliest stand that nobody could have imagined it !

hahaha ... I am hiding it at the corner of my bedroom so no one will pay attention to it. That's why I was saying "please don't ask for a picture" at the beginning.
