PIECE OF FURNITURE AND ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A PIECE OF FURNITURE

An item of furniture includes a first furniture part, a second furniture part, and furniture hinges for pivotally connecting the first furniture part and the second furniture part. The furniture hinges are spaced apart from each other along a longitudinal direction of the first furniture part and the second furniture part, and a gap is defined between the first furniture part and the second furniture part. A cover portion extends at least between the furniture hinges so that the gap can be at least partially covered. The first furniture part and the second furniture part can be moved by the furniture hinges into a position in which the first furniture part and the second furniture part are aligned so as to be substantially coplanar relative to each other whereby the cover portion is substantially covered by the first furniture part and/or the second furniture part.
