A furniture stand, in particular a chair stand or table stand, comprising: a support column having a longitudinal axis; a foot ring; and a fastening means with which said foot ring is affixed to said support column so as to be axially displaceable and which comprises: a first threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said support column and has an external thread; a second threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said foot ring and has an internal thread, wherein said internal thread of said second threaded bushing engages with said external thread of said first threaded bushing, and said second threaded bushing is rotatable about said first threaded bushing by at least one revolution such that said second threaded bushing can be axially moved relative to said first threaded bushing; and a locking element which is movable between a first operating position and a second operating position, wherein it prevents relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its first operating position and enables relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its second operating position, characterized in that said first threaded bushing has a first longitudinal groove on its exterior, in which a clamping block of said locking element engages in its first operating position; and said locking element is preloaded into its first operating position. a support column having a longitudinal axis; a foot ring; and a fastening means with which said foot ring is affixed to said support column so as to be axially displaceable and which comprises: a first threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said support column and has an external thread; a second threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said foot ring and has an internal thread, wherein said internal thread of said second threaded bushing engages with said external thread of said first threaded bushing, and said second threaded bushing is rotatable about said first threaded bushing by at least one revolution such that said second threaded bushing can be axially moved relative to said first threaded bushing; and a locking element which is movable between a first operating position and a second operating position, wherein it prevents relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its first operating position and enables relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its second operating position, characterized in that said first threaded bushing has a first longitudinal groove on its exterior, in which a clamping block of said locking element engages in its first operating position; and a first threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said support column and has an external thread; a second threaded bushing which is arranged coaxially with said support column and non-rotatably connected to said foot ring and has an internal thread, wherein said internal thread of said second threaded bushing engages with said external thread of said first threaded bushing, and said second threaded bushing is rotatable about said first threaded bushing by at least one revolution such that said second threaded bushing can be axially moved relative to said first threaded bushing; and a locking element which is movable between a first operating position and a second operating position, wherein it prevents relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its first operating position and enables relative movement between said first threaded bushing and said second threaded bushing in its second operating position, characterized in that said first threaded bushing has a first longitudinal groove on its exterior, in which a clamping block of said locking element engages in its first operating position; and said locking element is preloaded into its first operating position.
