I had planned on using 2" x 2" stock to make tapered legs ( 2" to 1" ),
but may have to just settle for square ones. Keep in mind that this is a
learning experience as well.

Don't "settle" for anything you don't want. Tapered legs are really not
hard to do and add a lot of visual appeal. I'd go with a 1/2" taper on the
inside at least.
