Furniture item that now needs repair (7)
I believe the answer is:
whatnot
'furniture item' is the definition.
(whatnot is a type of furniture stand)
'that now needs repair' is the wordplay.
'needs repair' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'that'+'now'='thatnow'
'thatnow' anagrammed gives 'WHATNOT'.
(Other definitions for whatnot that I've seen before include "This piece of furniture" , "Portable ornament stand" , "Stand with shelves for small items" , "Thingummy - display stand" , "Shelved stand for ornaments" .)
