A hollow tube 301 comprising longitudinally extending walls 302 defining a cavity with a tab 303 projecting from an end of at least one wall, the tab foldable between an open position and a closed position where it extends across an end of the cavity and at least partly defines an opening to the cavity. Two tabs may project towards one another from opposing walls in the closed position. The tabs may have apertures 313 which align. The tube may have seating surfaces comprising lugs 308 formed by tabs or cut-outs in the walls. Also claimed is a socket assembly 300 comprising the hollow tube and a hex nut 304 retained in the cavity by the tab. Also claimed is an adjustable support comprising the socket assembly and a foot comprising a base and an elongate threaded member engaged with the nut. Also claimed is a method for forming a hollow metal tube, comprising cutting a wall of a hollow metal tube to form a tab projecting from an end of the tube, and cutting a wall of the tube to form a seating surface spaced from the end of the tube.
