Crossword Genius

Woven cane bit on dresser (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabinet

'dresser' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'woven cane bit on' is the wordplay.
'woven' is an anagram indicator.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cane' put after 'bit' is 'bitcane'.
'bitcane' with letters rearranged gives 'CABINET'.

(Other definitions for cabinet that I've seen before include "meeting at Number Ten" , "Senior government ministers" , "some senior politicians" , "See 18" , "Piece of furniture with doors, shelves and drawers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
