17. The electromotive furniture drive of claim 16 , wherein the cover surrounds the spindle at least on three sides in a U-shaped manner and is formed in one piece with integrated film hinges.

18. A piece of furniture, comprising:

a furniture fitting;

a furniture part fixed to the furniture fitting; and

an electromotive furniture drive operably connected to the furniture fitting for moving the furniture part, said electromotive furniture drive including a drive unit, a power take-off unit movable in relation to the drive unit, and connection elements respectively arranged on the drive unit and on the power take-off unit for connecting the drive unit and the power take-off unit to the furniture fitting, each of the connection elements providing at least two spaced-apart force application points for connection with the furniture fitting in a direction transversely to a relative movement between the drive unit and the power take-off unit, said force application points being spaced apart from one another at least by a distance which is greater than approximately 50% of a travel of the furniture drive, which corresponds to a length of a maximum displacement of the furniture drive.

19. The piece of furniture of claim 18 , constructed in the form of a seating furniture or a relaxation chair.

20. The piece of furniture of claim 18 , wherein the distance of the force application points is greater than 25% of a width of the furniture fitting.

21. The piece of furniture of claim 18 , wherein the distance of the force application points is greater than 10 cm.

22. The piece of furniture of claim 18 , wherein the connection elements connect the drive unit and the power take-off unit to the furniture fitting in a frictionally engaged or interlocking manner.

23. The piece of furniture of claim 18 , wherein the connection elements are configured for a releasable connection.
