reins

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

'control quantity' is the definition.
'reins' can be an answer for 'control' (take the reins). I'm not certain of the 'quantity' bit.

'of furniture in store' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'REINS' is hidden within 'furniture in store'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for reins that I've seen before include "Harnesses" , "Restrictions" , "Means of control for a horse" , "Guiding straps" , "Horse's controls" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
