Crossword Genius

Some furniture sent east (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seat

'some furniture' is the definition.
(seat is a kind of furniture)

'sent east' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (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" , "Settle in" , "See 10" , "Chair, bench, saddle, etc" , "'A chair, say (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
