The cabinet rail has a stop element, and the drawer rail has an abutment element, wherein, at a catch position of the cabinet rail, a distance between the stop and abutment elements is smaller than a maximum length of movement of a coupling element of a force accumulator of the automatic retraction mechanism, the distance being parallel to a direction of movement of the drawer rail.
