Pieces of furniture with hollow body supports (6,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sticks by

'supports' is the definition.

'pieces of furniture with hollow body' is the wordplay.
'pieces of furniture' becomes 'sticks' (informal term for furniture).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'hollow' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'body' with its middle removed is 'by'.
'sticks'+'by'='STICKS BY'

(Another definition for sticks by that I've seen is " Remains loyal".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
