Initially drop less refined piece of furniture (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drawer

'piece of furniture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'initially drop less refined' is the wordplay.
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
'less refined' becomes 'rawer' (I've seen this in another clue).
The first letter of 'drop' is 'd'.
'd'+'rawer'='DRAWER'

(Other definitions for drawer that I've seen before include "Sliding storage space" , "One providing cheque" , "Box-like container that slides" , "Reward (anag.)" , "One sliding into e.g. chest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
