[0017] Fig. 1d The retaining part 13, attached to the rear of the front panel 3, is shown. The connecting device 6 can advantageously be a locking device 29 ( Fig. 5 ) exhibiting features by which the retaining part 13 can be detachably locked to the drawer side wall 2.

[0018] Fig. 2a Figure 1 shows the drawer side panel 2 in a perspective view from above, wherein the drawer side panel 2 can be detachably coupled to the extension rail 11 of the drawer extension guide 9 via a coupling device 18. In the illustrated embodiment, a first coupling element 18a is provided on the drawer side panel 2, which can be detachably coupled to a coupling lever 18b of the extension rail 11. In the illustrated Figur 2a The uncoupled state between the coupling element 18a and the coupling lever 18b is shown.

[0019] The coupling device 18 with the first coupling element 18a and the connecting device 6 for connecting the front panel 3 with the drawer side wall 2, preferably detachably, are combined into a common assembly unit.

[0020] The coupling lever 18b for detachable coupling with the first coupling element 18a is mounted on the extension rail 11 so as to be bendable or pivotable about an axis running vertically in the mounting position.

[0021] The drawer extension guide 9 can have a height adjustment device 17 with a movable actuating element 17a, wherein the height position of the drawer 1 relative to the extension rail 11 can be adjusted by actuating the actuating element 17a.

[0024] The connecting device 6 for detachable connection with the front panel 3 includes the coupling device 18, by which the drawer side wall 2 can be detachably coupled to the extension rail 11 of the drawer extension guide 9.

[0025] In the illustrated embodiment, the coupling device 18 comprises at least one first coupling element 18a arranged on the drawer side wall 2, which can be detachably coupled to the coupling lever 18b.

[0026] The first coupling element 18a has in the figure shown a contact surface 19, a first stop surface 20a extending in the longitudinal direction L and / or a second stop surface 20b, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2.

[0027] In the configuration shown, the contact surface 19 is designed to rest against the drawer side wall 2, the first stop surface 20a is designed to rest against a vertical web 23 of the extension rail 11, and the second stop surface 20b is designed to rest against the coupling lever 18b. Due to the locking surfaces 22 being offset in a longitudinal direction L of the drawer side wall 2, the drawer 1 can assume different depth positions in a locked state with the extension rail 11, so that the front of the front panel 3 can be aligned essentially in a common plane with adjacent front panels.

[0028] Of course, in a kinematic reversal, it is also possible that the coupling lever 18b is arranged on the connecting device 6 of the drawer side wall 2 and the first coupling element 18a is arranged on the extension rail 11.
