They are one piece (no detachable legs), but the way he made them there is a high side and a low side. You can turn it over to make the angle steeper or flatter depending on what you need. She was selling them for $20, so I snatched one up and brought it home to give it a try. I like it on the steep side, and it looks nice too.

If you know someone who works with wood, the design is very simple; it is just shaped like a "Z" with one of the legs a little longer than the other. Hopefully the pics give you the right idea.

The rubber mat that's on the plastic platform is to put on the floor to keep your foot pedal from sliding around.

I've been using that set for several years now. I really like it.
