"Best way" is typically one of the simplest. I would try using a pattern bit
(bearing on shaft) and simply place a shim / wedge attached to router base
with double-sided tape. Attach the shim to the base on the side of the
router base that is to remain furthest from and parallel the top's edge.
The thickness of the shim / wedge will tilt the router bit inward and the
degree of bevel will be determined by the thickness. I would make a tapered
shim but even a flat shim will tilt the router - just be sure you don't
rotate the router while following an edge.
If that doesn't work, then I'd probably put the top on my TS and use that.
Of course that means I would need a slider so I can bevel the tops ends
too....meaning - hell of a justification for a new tool accessory....
If that fails, Lee Valley sells some very nice hand planes that would be
perfect for that task....

Think those designs out well, wood movement wise. You can do better
than the original.
My BIL has a genuine GD table that *exploded* during New England
seasonal changes.
As far as the bevel... It looks to me like a bevel cut with a
roundover on the bottom. If you doing it a lot. you can have a router
bit or shaper cutter made. For one shot, I'd do it in two steps.

You're welcome. BTW, my first choice would be a draw knife followed
by a drum sander chucked into a drill. You're far less likely to fook
things up with less powerful tools.

Make that flap wheels, about 2" dia x 40 grit.
They do a great job, especially if you have a pneumatic drill with a
3/8" chuck.
You probably won't find what you need in stock but they can be special
ordered in lots of 6-10.
I used my local hardware store.
BTW, use a fairing batten to find high/low spots.

The same question about this same piece of furniture came up a month

The bevel looks to me like a combination of a straight bevel and a curve. I
would cut the straight bevel first then the curve. For the curve I would
make a template, draw the cut line and remove most of the waste with a
jigsaw. Then I would stick the template down and trim the curve with router
set up with a pattern bit. If you would like to have a sketchup model of a
console that looks like the Green Design console the following link will
take you to one.
