Instructions
Step 1
Build three of the leg sets. On the bottom horizontal piece, it may be easier to place pocket holes on sides instead of top/bottom if you don't have a right angle drill.
If you want to finish your legs different than the rest of the piece, paint or stain the legs now - it will be much more difficult after further assembly.
Step 2
Build the four shelves as shown above.
Step 3
Attach aprons between legs.
Step 4
Mark back legs at a 45 degree angle and attach bottom shelf inside.
Step 5
