I'm building an end table with a ten-degree face on one side, which means I need 110° brackets for the connection between that face and the top. I'm looking for something robust because I've tried using 90° brackets before, and they didn't hold up—my table ended up wobbling like a carnival ride! So, what are my best options for sturdy brackets? Here's a link to the assembly instructions for my table if that helps: https://www.therefinedfeline.com/wp-content/assembly_pdfs/A_FRAME_InstructionsR2v5.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorZFSe-AwKwL6iHZNYFgxMg4b9LXvOFgfeheYM9hH4Itcr7xhxu

If you're open to it, making wooden brackets or using cross-sectional support between the legs cut to the right angle could work. I know it might bulk up the appearance a bit, but it definitely provides the support you need. I get it though, sometimes aesthetics matter just as much!
You could try getting some 90° brackets and use a small metal vise to hammer them into your desired shape. It’s a bit of a hack, but it can work if you don’t have anything else on hand!
Consider posting a picture in your question. Many might not want to download a PDF to see your plans. A visual can really make it easier for others to offer suggestions!
You could definitely make some wooden brackets yourself. It's a pretty straightforward process and allows for custom angles that fit your design perfectly. Just measure twice and cut once!
Yeah, I like the sleek look for the top. I'll think about how I could craft wooden brackets without making it look too chunky.
