A furniture pillar includes an upright tube and a guide bushing which is inserted into one end of the upright tube and has an inner circumferential surface which is a guide for a supporting tube of the furniture pillar. The guide bushing has a radially inner guide tube, the tube passage of which forms a guide. An annular insertion region extends radially outwards on an end region of the guide tube and is inserted with its outer circumferential surface into the upright tube. A plurality of circumferentially spaced ribs of the guide bushing adjoin the annular insertion region axially, and extend radially outwards from the guide tube to outer end surfaces which bear against the inner wall of the upright tube, forming open chambers between them towards the side facing away from the annular insertion region. The upright tube has a color coating which completely covers its outer circumferential surface. Continuous openings pass from the chambers through the guide tube to the interior of the guide tube.

Furniture pillar

A longitudinally adjustable column for chairs, tables or the like, comprising a vertical tube and a longitudinal adjusting element arranged inside the tube. The longitudinal adjusting element has a cylinder with an axially movable piston rod, and is mounted on a base plate which is held in place inside the tube. The base plate is held in place on one side by an inwardly-bent deformation of the vertical tube, and on the other side by at least one supporting surface on the inner wall of the vertical tube. The deformation is formed by bending a face at one end of the tube in the direction of the inner wall of the tube, so that the outer wall of the tube rests against one side of the base plate.
