Abstract

A pull (12) includes an elongate flexible member (34) having two end portions. The first end portion (36) is secured to the rear surface (20, 106) of the front structure (16, 102) of a movable member (14, 100) of a piece of furniture made of wood. The flexible member (34) has an intermediate portion (39) extending from the first end portion (36). The intermediate portion (39) extends over an upper region of the front structure (16, 102) of the movable member (14, 100). The flexible member (34) has a manually gripable rigid part (40) at the second end portion (38). The manually gripable rigid part (40) lies against, without being secured to, the front surface (20, 106) of the front structure (16, 102) of the movable member (14, 100). The manually gripable rigid part (40) is pulled to open the movable member (14, 100).
