Mushroom foot for furniture

The foot element (2) has at the upper end a centring and fixing arrangement (3, 4) for a column (1) which supports the upper part of the furniture. The foot element is designed as a hollow body which is open towards its standing surface. The underside of the foot element facing the standing surface has a projecting edge zone which is located radially on the outside of said foot element and has a reference surface (5) which is approximately perpendicular to the column axis (6) and provided in the area of which there is a groove-shaped recess (9) running round on the foot element (2). Embedded in said recess is an annular insert (10) which consists of an elastically resilient solid profile material, part of which projects beyond the reference surface (5) and, in the case of an uneven standing surface (floor), is able by elastic pressing-in to provide a secure rest for the furniture fitted with the mushroom foot.
