You can certainly do the bracing with mitred wood pieces using a hanger bolt. Wood threads on one end and machine threads with a nut and washer on the other end. This method has been used on factory furniture for years.

My Daughter and Husband are retired and now running a Boy's Ranch for 
about 8 problem youngsters.

She has requested 8 small bedside tables. Large enough for a small lamp,
 etc.

Got to be Low Cost !

Looking at metal corner brackets to attach the legs. Cost at the big box
 is approx. $2.50 per. bracket. Need 32 of them !

Question: Cannot a piece of hardwood be cut at a 45 degree angle at each
 end be used for this purpose? Just drill a quarter inch hole in the 
center .

Instead of $80 for commercial brackets, these could be done from the 
cut-off bin

What is the feeling of the group? 

Thanks !
