A drawer side wall has an outer wall which has an exterior viewing surface and a rear side facing away from the exterior viewing surface, and has a cover which has a fastener, by which the cover can be fastened to the rear side of the outer wall. A rear side of a viewing section of the cover is configured to bear against the outer wall, and two separate recesses are spaced apart from each other on the rear side of the outer wall. The fastener includes two separate elastic clamping lugs, each of which is configured to engage in an associated recess in order to fasten the cover in position to the drawer side wall.
