stables

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'homes for arabians' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with social activities as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'endless pieces of furniture in' is the wordplay.
'endless pieces of' becomes 'ss' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'furniture' becomes 'table' (table is a kind of furniture).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'ss' going around 'table' is 'STABLES'.

Can you help me to learn more?
