Musical chairs and other furniture (5)

I believe the answer is:
suite
'furniture' is the definition.
(I have seen 'The furniture' mean 'suite' so perhaps 'furniture' could also mean 'suite')
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for suite that I've seen before include "Compensate for (faults)" , "Collection of pieces" , "Train; set of rooms" , "Set of rooms; retinue" , "music collection" .)
