Neat furniture he is to change soon (2,3,4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in the near future

'soon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'neat furniture he is to change' is the wordplay.
'is to change' indicates an anagram.
'neat'+'furniture'+'he'='neatfurniturehe'
'neatfurniturehe' with letters rearranged gives 'IN THE NEAR FUTURE'.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
