Since you don't specify what kind of construction you're going to use, I would suggest doing a leg and apron or chair type construction. The simplest approach is to use a loose tenon. Cut mortises into mating rails and legs and glue a loose or floating tenon in them. This way it's easy to find and cut your angles on the rails and you get good strength from the joint.
