Washington border troubled Cabinet (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wardrobe

'cabinet' is the definition.
(I know that wardrobe is a type of cabinet)

'washington border troubled' is the wordplay.
'washington' becomes 'wa' (two letter abbreviation for the state).
'troubled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'border' anagrammed gives 'rdrobe'.
'wa'+'rdrobe'='WARDROBE'

(Other definitions for wardrobe that I've seen before include "Storage unit" , "One's range of clothes" , "Stock of clothes" , "store here" , "Tall furniture for storage of clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
