A furniture part assembly, comprising:
- a fitting having a front portion and a rear portion, said fitting being displaceable from a first predetermined position to a second predetermined position in a first predetermined direction;
- and
- a rear panel, wherein the rear panel is provided with a first engaging structure, and wherein a second engaging structure is provided adjacent to the rear portion of the fitting and is configured to engage with the first engaging structure and thereby connect the fitting and the rear panel in a detachable manner, wherein one of said first and second engaging structures is configured as a projection member defining a mounting space, wherein another of said first and second engaging structures is configured as an extension member contoured for positioning in said mounting space;
- wherein one of the rear panel and the fitting is further provided with an engaging portion, and the other of the rear panel and the fitting is further provided with a release portion configured to connect with the engaging portion in a releasable manner, said release potion including an elastic section, and
- wherein, when said fitting is being displaced from the first predetermined position to the second predetermined position in the first predetermined direction relative to said rear panel, the extension member and the projection member abut against each other, and said release portion contacts a wall surface of the rear panel via said elastic section and stores an elastic energy, and, wherein, once said fitting reaches said second predetermined position, the release portion releases the stored elastic energy and connects to said engaging portion in the releasable manner.
