A piece of furniture comprising:

• at least one leg;
• a hollow receiver shaped to receive an end section of the at least one leg, wherein the hollow receiver comprises a first engagement element formed as a helical segment at least partially encircling an inside of the hollow receiver, and a first counter-engagement element formed on a respective outside of the end section of the leg;
• wherein the first engagement element engages the first counter-engagement element for fixing the leg in place free of play;
• wherein the receiver is formed as a separate insert fixed in place in a respectively matched recess in a socket member;
• and
• wherein the insert engages the socket with a snap fit;
• wherein the first engagement element and a second engagement element are formed as grooves and are located opposite each other offset by 180°, each of which has an insertion element extending in an axis-parallel direction, and
• the first counter-engagement element and a second counter-engagement element are peg-shaped protrusions matched to the grooves of the respective first and second engagement elements;
• wherein the receiver and the end section of the leg are correspondingly embodied to be conically tapering toward a free end of the end section and dimensioned so that the end section is introduced with play with respect to the receiver in the axial direction and is fixed in place by subsequent rotation, while supported free of play at a conical inside;
• wherein the engagement elements and counter-engagement elements, as well as a dimensioning of the receiver and the end section are laid out so that, with the leg attached, an upper front side of the leg is supported on an upper inner surface of the receiver;
• and
• wherein the socket member is a hollow profiled element which includes openings on an underside that are matched to an exterior cross section of the insert.
