A joint for securely connecting a leg to a table top comprises an expandable member (11) insertable into the complementary hollow top of said leg, an expansion setscrew (17) screwed into a threaded seat in said member and operable from the outside of the leg, and fixing means at the top of the expandable member (11) for fixing the table top to it. Characteristically, the seat for the setscrew (17) consists of a plurality of internally threaded arcuate sections (20) which are positioned mutually opposing and offset so as to define, within said tubular seat, apertures adjacent to each of said arcuate sections (20). <IMAGE>
