A belt possibly with six pockets (5)

I believe the answer is:

table

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'with six pockets' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'a belt possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'belt'='abelt'
'abelt' is an anagram of 'TABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Statistical chart" , "Board off which dinner's eaten" , "Data arranged in rows and columns" , "Article of furniture - list of facts and figures" , "Flat surface on legs" .)
