1. A construction set for furniture pieces, said construction set comprising:
- a connecting element having a longitudinal axis;
a first part and a second part, each of said first and second parts having inner and outer faces;
said connecting element being constructed as to be connected in a predetermined arrangement to said first and to said second parts along each of said first and second part inner faces to hold said first and second parts in assembly with one another and with said connecting element;
said first part when said connecting element is connected to said first and second parts in said predetermined arrangement being spaced from said inner surface of said second part to define a slot therebetween and portions of said inner face of said first and second parts together with a portion of said connecting element defining a channel extending along said longitudinal axis and communicating with said slot;
said channel being accessible from the outer faces of each of said first and second parts to allow a cable to be placed into said channel by moving such cable laterally of itself from a position in front of said outer faces to a position behind said inner faces of said first and second parts;
said connecting element being a corner connecting element with two flanges each containing flat fastening faces extending parallel to said longitudinal axis of said connecting element and arranged at an angle to one another;
said first and second parts are respectively connected adjacent their said inner faces to said fastening faces of said connecting element;
said two fastening faces each terminating short of an intersection line of two planes containing said two fastening facessaid connecting element, said first and said second parts when said two parts are connected to said connecting element forming said channel which channel is defined by portions of said inner faces of said first and second parts located between said termination of each fastening face and said intersection line and by said portion of said connecting element.

6. A construction set for furniture pieces, said construction set comprising:
-
a connecting element having a longitudinal axis; a first part and a second part, each of said first and second parts having inner and outer faces; said connecting element being constructed as to be connected in a predetermined arrangement to said first and to said second parts along each of said first and second part inner faces to hold said first and second parts in assembly with one another and with said connecting element; said first part when said connecting element is connected to said first and second parts in said predetermined arrangement being spaced from said inner surface of said second part to define a slot therebetween and portions of said inner face of said first and second parts together with a portion of said connecting element defining a channel extending along said longitudinal axis and communicating with said slot; said channel being accessible from the outer faces of each of said first and second parts to allow a cable to be placed into said channel by moving such cable laterally of itself from a position in front of said outer faces to a position behind said inner faces of said first and second parts; said connecting element being the first of three such connecting elements included in said construction set, said first one of said connecting element is formed as an elongated girder having a longitudinal axis, and said first and second parts being connected with said first connecting element such that said first part being is a table plate which is connected to said girder for movement about an axis parallel to said longitudinal axis of said girder and said second part is a rear wall; and said second and third connecting elements are each connected with adjacent portions of said rear wall. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
