         4 . Piece of furniture ( 1 ) as in any of  claims 1  through  3  with at least three foot elements ( 2   a ) that are each formed in a bowl shape and in folded position form a concave or interior space ( 12 ) to receive the support struts ( 3 ,  4 ) and the covering ( 5 ). 
     
     
         5 . Piece of furniture ( 1 ) as in any of  claims 1  through  3  with two pairs of foot elements ( 2   c ) that are mountable spaced from each other via a cross brace ( 21 ), wherein the foot elements ( 2   a ) of the pairs of foot elements ( 2   c ) are formed in a bowl shape and in folded position form a concave space ( 12 ) to receive the support struts ( 3 ,  4 ) and the covering ( 5 ). 
     
     
         6 . Piece of furniture ( 1 ) as many of  claims 1  through  5 , characterized in that the leg ( 2 ) comprises a number of plug openings ( 19 ) corresponding to a number of support struts ( 3 ,  4 ) into which the ends of the support struts ( 3 ,  4 ) are insertable.
