No it will not relax. The underside of my bench-top was not flattened correctly. I had to place a shim somewhere between a leg-frame-bearing and the bench-top before screwing the bench-top to the leg-frame in order to get the four feet on the ground.
If your bench-top is not already glued to the front apron the best thing to do is to flatten its underside out of twist.
Note: if you don’t want to flatten the entire underside, you can take out of twist only the two (underside) areas of the bench-top which will sit on the two leg-frames. It should be OK as the other areas don’t play any role in the final geometry.
The front edge of the bench-top should be perpendicular to the two sitting areas.
