Abstract

A guide system is provided for guiding a door wing, in particular a folding-sliding-door, movably supported relative to a furniture carcass. The guide system includes a guide rail having a longitudinal direction, the longitudinal direction of the guide rail extending substantially parallel to a depth direction of the furniture carcass in a mounted condition on the furniture carcass. A carrier is provided for movably supporting the door wing, and the carrier is displaceably supported at least over a region along the guide rail. An abutment is provided for determining an end position of the carrier in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, and an adjustment device can adjust a position of the abutment. The abutment can be adjusted by the adjustment device in the longitudinal direction relative to the guide rail.
