Fix a piece of furniture (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

settle

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'fix' is the first definition.
(fix a problem, settle the matter)

'a piece' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'piece of furniture' mean 'settle' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'settle')

'of' is a link.

'furniture' is the third definition.
(I know that settle is a type of bench)

(Other definitions for settle that I've seen before include "Become calm and quiet" , "Reach an agreement or become calm" , "Come to an arrangement with the bench?" , "Establish, compose" , "Take up residence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Guardian.
