Or under the circumstances you could see if they would donate or give a reduced price for the metal ones.

Tom 
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 !
