Appropriate occasional bits of studio furniture (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

suitable

'appropriate' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'occasional bits of studio furniture' is the wordplay.
'occasional bits of' means one should take alternating letters (letters selected at regular intervals).
'furniture' becomes 'table' (table is a kind of furniture).
The alternate letters of 'studio' are 'sui'.
'sui'+'table'='SUITABLE'

(Other definitions for suitable that I've seen before include "Appropriate, befitting" , "Satisfactory, worthy" , "Appropriate, fitting" , "In keeping" , "qualified" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
