A bow to them? You mean that they are warped from top to bottom and not back to front? Sometimes you can fix that by moistening the concave side and then clamping it with a jig to hold it straight, but the sides in this set are likely laminated so I'm not sure if it would work. If the warp is from top to bottom I think it's likely that the braces on the inside at the back are also bowed so that probably has not helped matters.
