The invention relates to a damper (1) for furniture, especially hinges, comprising a housing (2) in which a piston (8) is connected to a piston rod (3) and can be displaced. A fluid flows through at least one flow channel (11) on or in the piston (8) during a movement of the piston (8) inside the housing (2). A connecting element (4) having a seat (5) for coupling a drive element thereto is provided on the piston rod (3) on the end section projecting from the housing (2). The seat (5) has a cut-out section (18) on the face of the of the piston rod (3) accommodated therein, said cut-out section allowing the direct mechanical contact of a face (17) of the piston rod (3) and a drive element accommodated in the seat (5) so that there is a direct flux of force in the axial direction from the drive element accommodated in the seat towards the piston rod (3) when pressure is applied.
