A piece of office furniture |
(57) The invention relates to a piece of office furniture comprising a tabletop (10) and
legs (2) supporting the tabletop. The individual elongated legs are connected to separate
tubes (9) interconnecting the legs and supporting the tabletop. The tabletop is detachably
secured to the tubes by means of quick-acting fasteners (90). The elongated legs may
be built up of parts which are telescopically movable and adjustable relative to each
other. Two legs may thereby be connected to a tube (8) extending between the legs,
which tube is coupled to said two legs by means of corner pieces (5), which have ends
that fit in the legs and in the tube.
