Question on trailer leaf spring hangers design/fabrication

Hi. I bought this project utility trailer. Just wondering if the brackets design and welding of the leaf spring hanger mounts appear sufficiently strong enough for road use, in terms of design.

The frame is 2x2x 1/4 steel angle bar. A small section of the same angle bar was used, welded upside down to the frame at all 4 connection points, with the hanger brackets then welded to the upside down angle bar. All welds are welded on the long side( parallel to length of trailer). The welds themselves loook good in terms of quality. Mostly wondering about the design and that theyre not welded all around.

Its a light duty trailer. Will be used for less then 600lb. I will always keep an eye on it but I will eventually sell it and want to make sure its good.

Thanks.
