A drawer side wall having a cover profile and a fixing device for releasably fixing a front panel to the drawer side wall, wherein at least for the predominant part the fixing device is arranged in the interior of the cover profile, wherein the cover profile has an inner wall and the drawer side wall has a multi-function component which is separate from the cover profile and the fixing device and which is at least region-wise arranged between the inner wall of the cover profile and the fixing device and at least region-wise encloses the fixing device, wherein the fixing device forms a self-contained functional unit so that a furniture fitment to be mounted to the front panel can be releasably fixed independently of the multi-function component by means of the fixing device, wherein the drawer side wall includes a cover portion, wherein the cover profile has an opening which can be covered by the cover portion, wherein the multi-function component includes a support structure at which the cover portion can be supported when covering the opening, and wherein moreover at least one property selected from the following group is implemented: - the multi-function component has at least two support contours (8, 9) which are spaced from each other transversely relative to a longitudinal extent of the drawer side wall and at which the cover profile is supported, - the multi-function component has a joining device facing in the direction of the front panel to be fixed to facilitate insertion of the furniture fitment to be mounted to the front panel into the fixing device, - the fixing device has at least one adjustment device (15, 16) for adjusting the position of the front panel with respect to the drawer side wall and/or a device for locking and/or releasing the front panel to or from the fixing device, wherein the multi-function component includes operating instructions consisting of lines for facilitating operation of the at least one adjustment device (15, 16) or device for locking and/or releasing the front panel by a user, - the fixing device has at least one component movable relative to the drawer side wall, wherein the multi-function component includes a cover means for at least region-wise shielding of the movable component upon a movement relative to the drawer side wall, and - the cover profile has at least one interface for connecting an attachment element, wherein the interface includes an opening in the cover profile and the multi-function component includes a movably mounted cover portion which closes the opening in a first position and exposes the opening in a second position, wherein at least the property is implemented that the cover profile has at least one interface for connecting an attachment element, wherein the interface includes an opening in the cover profile and the multi-function component includes a movably mounted cover portion which closes the opening in a first position and exposes the opening in a second position, and wherein at least the property is implemented that the multi-function component has at least two support contours (8, 9) which are spaced from each other transversely relative to a longitudinal extent of the drawer side wall and at which the cover profile is supported. - the multi-function component has at least two support contours (8, 9) which are spaced from each other transversely relative to a longitudinal extent of the drawer side wall and at which the cover profile is supported, - the multi-function component has a joining device facing in the direction of the front panel to be fixed to facilitate insertion of the furniture fitment to be mounted to the front panel into the fixing device, -
