'bloke swamped by too much huge furniture' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'bloke swamped by too much huge' is the wordplay.
'bloke' becomes 'man' (informal term for a man).
'swamped by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'too much' becomes 'OTT' (short for over the top).
'huge' becomes 'os' (abbreviation for outsize).
'ott'+'os'='ottos'
'man' inserted into 'ottos' is 'OTTOMANS'.

Can you help me to learn more?
