My son and I recently made the footstool in the picture above, and I have a question about structural integrity. I decided to splay the two legs of the footstool at 5 degrees. Why 5 degrees? Because I decided I liked that appearance. That's all. Here's my question...How do you know what is the best angle for something like this? And when I say "best angle", I mean the strongest angle. Obviously, if you angle them out too far, then it gets quite unreliable to stand on. Thanks for your help.
