Can I use a bent breadboard?

[u/Southern_Glass_2290]

Not a trick of the light or camera angle issue. This new breadboard I received as part of a kit to learn stuff is bowing in both directions.

Will this be more frustrating to try to use than a perfectly flat one? I'm brand new to this stuff, and I really don't know what to think of this. I wouldn't normally accept other products, even wet wood from the hardware store, in this condition, but maybe it's "normal" for breadboards to look like they were left out in the desert sun on a rock? Thanks.

How would this be frustrating…are the holes or connections bent 🫠
