   The purists may object, but if it were me, I'd use metal corner brackets.  I'd try to find some higher quality, heaver ones.  I'd install two in each corner, one above the other, and secure the brackets to the apron with hex head sheet metal screws of sufficient length to go nearly through the apron, and of fairly beefy diameter.  Use locking nuts on the hanger bolts attaching the legs.

   I did a piano bench this way and it is quite solid.

   Strider,

   I'd build it like a chair...M&T and corner brackets...it's going to be under the same kind of stress...
