Furniture placed by river (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settees

'furniture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'placed by river' is the wordplay.
'placed' becomes 'set' (synonyms).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'river' becomes 'tees' (River Tees).
'set'+'tees'='SETTEES'

(Other definitions for settees that I've seen before include "furniture" , "Long indoor seats" , "Sofas" .)
