The present invention provides an improved hardware system for guiding a closure flap (200) of a furniture piece. The hardware system according to the invention comprises a damping unit (120, 122) that is embedded in an end region (100) of a hardware body (100) in the hardware body (100) or substantially parallel to an end region of a guide slot (110) in a side wall of the furniture piece. A guide pin (210a) arranged in a side region of the closure flap (200) can be brought into contact with the damping unit (120, 122) and a weight tome of the closure flap exercised via the guide pin (210a) can be applied to the damping unit (120, 122) across a damping distance when the closure flap (200) is transferred into an end position, and in, doing so exercises a counter-force on the guide pin (210a), said force being lower than the weight-force exercised by the guide pin (210a) on the damping unit (120, 122).
