The fact is that for the stability of the chair, the legs on it are attached with a slope of 100 degrees from the plane. For this, the end faces are cut by 80 degrees. It is important that the sections are parallel.

When all components are ready, you can proceed with the assembly of the structure. At the first stage, the primary assembly is done without the use of glue.
