Step-by-step build — 6 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Cut all the pieces, watching the cut list's distinction between 'not parallel' and 'parallel' 30° ends. The X-leg supports have non-parallel ends so the legs splay into an X; the leg pieces have parallel ends. A stop block keeps the many repeated cuts identical.
Glue and nail the supports to the underside of the tabletop slats. These carry the X-legs and hold the top together.
Attach the longer legs to the insides of the supports, forming one arm of each X.
Attach the remaining shorter legs to complete the X on each end. Don't forget the glue on these legs — on parts this small the glue does the holding and the brads just clamp it while it cures.
Repeat the whole process at smaller scale for the two benches: supports under the seat slats, longer legs, then shorter legs, gluing every joint.
Sand every edge smooth and finish the set for display. It's small enough that finishing is quick.
