The invention further relates to a method for assembling a piece of furniture in which the method for mounting a guide assembly is used.

[0002] Methods according to the preamble of claim 1 are already known from the prior art. Different guide arrangements are used depending on whether the movable furniture part to be guided by means of the guide arrangement comprises exactly one door leaf or at least two hingedly connected door leaves.

[0003] WO 2018 / 204950 A1 discloses a method for assembling a guide arrangement for a movable furniture part, which comprises at least one door leaf.

[0004] The disadvantage is that the assembler must keep both versions of the guide assembly in stock if they are not only processing guide assemblies for one type of movable furniture part. Furthermore, the production of the guide assemblies is associated with high costs, as the guide assemblies are designed differently, thus requiring two production lines.

[0005] The object of the present invention is to at least partially avoid these disadvantages and to provide a method for assembling a guide arrangement for a movable furniture part, which comprises either exactly one door leaf or at least two hingedly connected door leaves, to a furniture wall of a fixed furniture part, which method is improved compared to the prior art. This method, in particular, allows an assembler greater flexibility in the manufacture of furniture and is associated with lower manufacturing costs for the manufacturer. Furthermore, a method for assembling a piece of furniture using the improved method for assembling a guide arrangement is to be specified.

[0006] These objects are achieved by the features of claims 1 and 8.

[0007] In the method according to the invention for assembling a guide arrangement for a movable furniture part, which comprises either exactly one door leaf or at least two hinged door leaves, on a furniture wall of a fixed furniture part, the following method steps are provided, preferably in the specified chronological order: a first guide rail is arranged on the furniture wall for guiding the movable furniture part, at least one drive device for influencing the movement of the movable furniture part is arranged on the furniture wall on a first longitudinal side of the first guide rail, preferably wherein the first guide rail and the at least one drive device are connected to one another, particularly preferably in a form-fitting manner, and in the event that the movable furniture part comprises at least two hingedly connected door leaves, a second guide rail is arranged on a second longitudinal side of the first guide rail for guiding the movable furniture part on the furniture wall, preferably wherein the first guide rail and the second guide rail are connected to one another, particularly preferably in a form-fitting manner, and in the event that the movable furniture part comprises exactly one door leaf,In a further method step, at least one holding device for holding the movable furniture part in an end position relative to the first guide rail is arranged on the furniture wall on the second longitudinal side of the first guide rail, wherein, regardless of whether the movable furniture part comprises exactly one door leaf or at least two hingedly connected door leaves, it is the same first guide rail, and wherein either the second guide rail in the case of at least two door leaves or the at least one holding device in the case of exactly one door leaf is displaceably connected to the first guide rail, and / or wherein an adjusting device is provided with which the at least one holding device or the second guide rail is adjustable relative to the first guide rail.

[0008] This makes it possible to assemble the guide arrangement from a type of modular system, using as many identical parts as possible, which are used both in a guide arrangement for a movable furniture part which comprises exactly one door leaf, and in a guide arrangement for a movable furniture part which comprises at least two hingedly connected door leaves.

[0009] The identical parts can be manufactured in larger quantities and on the same production line, which reduces the costs of manufacturing the guide assembly.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment of the method, it is provided that the same drive device is used, regardless of whether the movable furniture part comprises exactly one door leaf or at least two hingedly connected door leaves. This allows the number of identical parts to be increased.
