1. A furniture kit comprising:
a set of floor ladders, each having two vertical supports connected to one another via an upper rung and a lower rung, wherein the two vertical supports are each equipped with a foot for placement on a floor;
a set of longitudinal cross-bars, each of which is equipped at its longitudinal ends with a latching claw which is designed to be mounted without tools on one of the rungs of one of the floor ladders;
a set of longitudinal wind braces, each of which is equipped at its longitudinal ends with a clamp which is designed to be mounted on one of the rungs of one of the ground ladders by engaging entirely around the respective rung; and
a plate element which is designed to rest on two parallel cross-bars when the two parallel cross-bars are mounted on the first of the floor ladders and the second of the floor ladders, so that there is a spacing between the plate element and the rungs of the first of the floor ladders and the second of the floor ladders on which the two parallel cross-bars are mounted,
wherein the cross-bars and the wind braces are designed such that one of the cross-bars can be mounted on the upper rung of a first of the floor ladders and on the upper rung of a second of the floor ladders, while one of the wind braces is mounted on the upper of the first of the floor ladders and the lower of the second of the floor ladders,
wherein the plate element is equipped with at least two rests, each of which partially grips one of two parallel cross-bars when the plate element rests on the two parallel cross-bars, and
wherein the at least two rests of the plate element each have a first plug-in part and the cross-bars each have a second plug-in part which are designed in such a way that the first and second plug-in parts engage in one another when the plate element rests on the two parallel cross-bars.
