Furniture sent east (4)
I believe the answer is:
seat
'furniture' is the definition.
(I know that seat is a type of seat)
'sent east' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates anagramming the letters (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'east' with letters rearranged gives 'SEAT'.
(Other definitions for seat that I've seen before include "MP's place in parliament" , "Somewhere to sit" , "Box ---, position of advantage" , "Spanish car" , "Chair - bottom" .)
