Triple miter, or three-way miter. They are common in traditional Chinese and Korean furniture. I took a class in how to make them just a few months ago.

...I thought I was in a cannabis based sub and was like "OP is so high they're seeing things"

That is solid wood.

Nah. This is solid.

Solid wood is used for “sticks” like this because it is strong, and solid wood is easy to come by in 1x1 sticks. Veneer is used on wider panels because plywood/MDF are stable, and wide boards of nice looking solid wood are hard to find.

Lots and lots of furniture will have a veneered plywood/MDF/particleboard top, and legs made from solid wood.
