Piece of furniture fit for the West End? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table

'piece of furniture' is the definition.
(table is a kind of piece of furniture)

'fit for the west end?' is the wordplay.
'fit' becomes 'able' (similar in meaning).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'end?' suggests the final letters (I've seen 'end' mean this).
The final letter of 'west' is 't'.
'able' after 't' is 'TABLE'.

(Other definitions for table that I've seen before include "Board < put on" , "put forward a > schedule" , "Put forward for formal discussion" , "Dummy hand (bridge)" , "Set of figures in columns" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
