In this post, you will need to model this similar figure using approximated dimension, the most important being the technique used.

The best way to start this session of furniture design in AutoCAD is to start by modeling those legs.

We can easily at the end model the top of the table and add it to the final design with no hassle.

Right below, are the main parts of this model seen in 2D
