Arrangement for fastening a hollow railing (10) to the front (24) of a drawer. A blind bore (26) is created on the back of the drawer front. The threaded shaft (20) of a fastener having a fastening head (22) of larger diameter, which can be inserted into the bore, is screwed into the front end of the railing. The fastening head tapers from its end at the railing towards its free end such that its upper generatrix is parallel over most of its length with the railing, and its lower generatrix slopes downwardly from the free end of the fastening head over most of its length. Near the free end of the fastening head at least one knife-edged projection reaching radially upwardly is provided and its cutting edge runs more or less circumferentially.
