It looks like nice your builder doe for you a nice work. The whole design is not what I personally would look in frame as I have slightly different preferences. To me the whole concept of the bottom legs, what I call chicken legs, is not elegant and remind me the character from old Russian folklore tales: Cabin on chicken legs:

To me the lower legs, although they serve well understood purpose are kind of white flag of design as the purpose in a way defeats esthetic. It is like an American architecture in 30s – they built a wonderfully building and then they run ugly external fire escape around the facade.

Again, I approach from the position of my objective – I what the frame to be invisible and horns juts fly in air by themselves. This very much might not be your, Rakesh, objective, so whatever I say might be absolutely irrelevant to you and to your builder.

Regarding the strength. Looking at the building techniques I do not think that you will have any problem however when I say about strength I do not means that you will put the horns in the frame and the frame collapses or bends. When you go to a store and buy a brand new bad then it is dead firm and has not noises. However, after a few year of use you suddenly begin to hear noises and recognize that that wood is not so solid. The point is that the loudspeaker frame will be exposed to many microscopic vibrations and it might (or might not) weaken the joints as time goes by.

This is not criticism but the aspect that need to be considered. I am sure that with large contact surface and good wood it is possible to make the joint that will last move then a few life times…
