A composed element, such as a piece of furniture, wherein the composed element comprises at least a rear wall, as well as a number of constructional parts forming a whole in which the rear wall has to be provided. The rear wall forms the rear side of the composed element and includes one or more rear wall parts. The composed element comprises seats for installing at least one of the rear wall parts, which are configured such that the rear wall part can be slid into the seats starting from the rear side of the composed element from a position differing from the final plane in which the rear wall part will be situated in the final condition.

A linking assembly is provided for linking two articles of furniture that includes a support member and a latch member that are pivotably connected by a lever member. The support member includes a hook portion configured to engage a link engagement opening in a beam of one of the articles of furniture. The latch member also includes a hook portion configured to engage the link engagement opening of the other beam. The lever member is pivotably connected to the support and latch members, and is configured in an open configuration so that the hook portions of the support and latch members are separated by a distance that is greater than the combined width of the two beams being connected. The lever member is further configured to draw the support and latch members together as the lever member is pivoted, so that wings of the support and latch members clamp against the two beams.

A pivotable furniture dowel for connecting furniture parts, for example for connecting wood-based panels at right angles, includes a dowel bolt. The dowel bolt is configured such that it generates different peripheral pressure forces in a receiving drilled hole of one of the furniture parts at a predetermined angle of rotation of the furniture dowel relative to the furniture parts to be connected.
