Furniture item, rope securing pedal? (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
coffee table
'furniture' is the definition.
(coffee table is a kind of furniture)
'rope securing pedal?' is the wordplay.
'rope' becomes 'cable' (cable is a kind of rope).
'securing' indicates putting letters inside.
'pedal?' becomes 'of feet' (pedal can mean relating to feet, as in bipedal).
'cable' placed around 'offeet' is 'COFFEE-TABLE'.
'item' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coffee table that I've seen before include "Platform for drinks (or books?)" , "Cup supporter" , "Low item of furniture" .)
