How are these parts joined together?

This is a table leg made by TIPTOE. I am just wondering, how are the parts joined together as there are seemingly no weldings visible? The joints must be pretty strong as it can support even heavier tabletops?

It'll be laser cut tab + slot assembly, probably just welded with a few small tacks and then dressed flush

If u zoom in you can even see a tiny well dressed bead of weld there. Probably laser?.

I can't seem to see it, which part should I zoom into?

I don’t know what they’re referring to, probably just the coating build up. You wouldn’t be able to see any welds because they’d be on the faces hidden from view.
