         6 . The drawer sidewall according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer sidewall, in a coupled condition with the extension rail, is at least partially arranged between a fastening portion of a carcass rail of the drawer pull-out guide and a vertical limb of the extension rail, the carcass rail being configured to be fixed to a furniture carcass. 
     
     
         7 . The drawer sidewall according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting device:
 includes at least one locking device configured to releasably lock at least one holding portion to be fixed to the front panel, preferably wherein the locking device includes at least one, preferably spring-loaded and/or displaceably supported, locking element, and/or   includes at least one adjustment device configured to adjust a position of the front panel relative to the drawer sidewall in at least one direction, preferably in a direction extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the drawer sidewall, preferably wherein the at least one adjustment device includes at least one eccentric, and/or   is substantially entirely received, apart from the coupling device, within the drawer sidewall, in a mounted condition, and/or   includes a base body, preferably wherein the base body is made of plastic and/or is substantially L-shaped.   
     
     
         8 . The drawer sidewall according to  claim 1 , wherein the drawer sidewall includes a groove for receiving an edge of a drawer bottom, the groove extending in a longitudinal direction of the drawer sidewall, wherein the groove includes at least one upper holding limb and a lower holding limb spaced apart from the upper holding limb and extending parallel thereto, wherein the edge of the drawer bottom can be arranged therebetween, preferably wherein at least one side face of the drawer sidewall is formed by an integral one-piece metal portion, wherein the groove, jointly with the two holding limbs, is formed into the metal portion by bendings.
