PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lower structure which can be easily assembled without requiring screwing and labor, and dispenses with the handing of a joint part between panels in a structure in which columns whose lower end is supported by an adjuster internally fitted in a bottom rail are erected in an appropriately separate manner between the top rail arranged on the ceiling and a bottom rail arranged on the floor, and a panel is mounted between the columns erected on the right and left thereof so that the lower end part of the panel covers an external upper part of the bottom rail. SOLUTION: An opening 62 is formed above a bottom rail in forward and rear surfaces of an adjuster receiving rod 61 whose lower part is internally fitted in the bottom rail, a hook part 71 projected on a back side of a lower supporting piece 7 is fitted and locked, and a downwardly extended body part 72 is arranged on an externally upper part of the bottom rail. A lower end part of a hollow column 3 is externally fitted to an upper part of the adjuster receiving rod 61, the column 3 is abutted on an upper end of the body part 72 of the lower supporting piece 7, one side edge of the body part 72 of the lower supporting piece 7 is received by a cut-out part 54 on a lower part on each back side of a panel 5, and an upper end of the cut-out part 54 is locked to an upward hook piece 73 formed on an upper end of the body part 72.
