Furniture item that now is broken (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

whatnot

'furniture item' is the definition.
(whatnot is a type of furniture stand)

'that now is broken' is the wordplay.
'is broken' is an anagram indicator.
'that'+'now'='thatnow'
'thatnow' is an anagram of 'WHATNOT'.

(Other definitions for whatnot that I've seen before include "Thingumajig" , "Stand with shelves for small items" , "This piece of furniture" , "Stand with shelves - knick-knack" , "Set of shelves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
