The photo is a table we saw in a restaurant. I am making one like it. The challenge is attaching the angle braces to the flat surfaces. All told there are ten braces.Would just glue hold? I could drive pegs or screws through the angled ends, but prefer a cleaner look.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks
