From designs like that one that I’ve put together for people, the bottom leg often has a threaded bolt coming out of it while the bottom of the top leg is drilled out at and tapped. Usually they’re assembled upside down. So the legs thread into the top, the shelf is put on and the bolt in the next leg goes through it to thread into the other leg. This sandwiches the self between the two legs so there is no extra hardware; the shelf is only drilled just enough to let the bolt through. The process continues till you hit the bottom shelf and the bolt in the foot goes through the bottom shelf and tightens into the leg. All the ones I’ve dealt with have it so the threaded rod is at the top when they’re right side up so that the top is screwed down by the legs and they can finish with the feet and no hardware shows anywhere.
The hardware then would be a threaded insert for the top and the bottom of each foot and those double sided bolts for the top of each leg where they are a coarse thread on one end meant to screw directly into wood and the other end is fine threaded to thread into the inserts.
