Abstract: A piece of furniture (10), in particular an item of office furniture or furniture for young persons, comprises body (14) from which a drawer (11 through 13) may be pulled out in a drawer motion direction (19) along a drawer path (27), such drawer running on a guide arrangement (20) on the body (14), and on two mutually opposite side portions (28 and 29), parallel to the drawer motion direction (19), of the drawer (11 through 13) gear wheels (30) synchronously coupled together are in mesh with racks (39) set on the body (14), for parallelization of the drawer (11 through 13) so that on the body the drawer does not run askew to the drawer motion direction (19). The racks (39) are constituted by tooth sections (32 and 33) on a front and/or a rear terminal section (25 and 26) of the drawer path (27). The gear wheels (30) are out of mesh with a rack (39) in a drawer path part clear of the tooth sections (32 and 33) in the front and/or the rear terminal section (25 and 26).

Abstract: A piece of furniture and in particular a desk, an office cupboard or a box-like receptacle for office use, comprises a drawer able to be pulled out as far as a maximum pulled-out position from a body (11) of the furniture and more especially a utensil drawer, and a box (20) able to be arranged in the drawer (14), the drawer (14) projecting past the body (11) in the furthest pulled out position while still being held by the body (11). In the rear portion of the drawer (14) there is a holding means (23) for the box (20) in a storage position, in which the box (20) is arranged in the drawer (14). A front wall (24) of the box (20) constitutes a rear inner wall (28) of the drawer (14), when the box (20) is held by the holding means (23) so that the box (20), as judged by eye, appears to the user of the furniture as an integral component of the drawer (14). An inner space (27) of the box (20) is concealed in the furthest pulled out position of the drawer.
