Crossword Genius

Lofty lad's furniture (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tallboy

'furniture' is the definition.
(tallboy is a kind of furniture)

'lofty lad's' is the wordplay.
'lofty' becomes 'tall' (synonyms).
'lad' becomes 'boy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tall'+'boy'='TALLBOY'

(Other definitions for tallboy that I've seen before include "Chests of drawers, one on top of the other" , "Piece of furniture made by lofty youth" , "Chest of drawers for lofty lad" , "High chest of drawers" , "Big chest of drawers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
