Crossword Genius

Unpleasant quality of inn's seats wobbling about (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nastiness

'unpleasant quality' is the definition.

'inn's seats wobbling about' is the wordplay.
'wobbling about' is an anagram indicator.
'inns'+'seats'='innsseats'
'innsseats' is an anagram of 'NASTINESS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nastiness that I've seen before include "Pollution" , "Repugnant behaviour" , "hostility" , "Malevolence" , "ill humour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
